Have a question, which power type do you rather have, coal or nuclear? That is the two options we have for base power generation currently (that is viable on a large scale)

I'd rather get rid of both asap. There is so many other options and unexplored possibilities that could provide enough energy (alone or combined) pushed aside for too long because of his royal majesty Quick Profit. There goes fusion as well - if only a portion of vast resources and money spent by powerful nuclear lobby and militaristic governments has been directed into the research of fusion reactors instead, we would already have them by now.

lolwut? You wanna attempt making sense or is that too much to ask of someone obviously not an adult or do I need torture (google dental torture for the mental image) you for a simple answer?

and it'd be totally awesome if we did have fusion i'm sure, but we don't, and either we have nuclear for baseline power generation, or we have fossil fuels...

Sure if we some magic energy (not saying that fusion is magic, but currently it's so far ahead in the future) sources that do not pollute or anything I choose that one to....

Originally by: Thuranni I hate this species sometimes.
Actually I don¦t, even when there¦s specimen like yourself giving such a bloody great reason.
That¦s why I don¦t subscribe to the great idea of building devices which are barely more advanced than oversized pressure cooker steam engines. Work with INCREDIBLY lethal power sources that can render VERY big parts of the human living space (quasi)permanently uninhabitable at worst, and are dangerously GENOME ALTERING AT BEST. Whose end products are barely less lethal, pose a mutagen and PLANET STERILIZING danger for millions of years and have NO safe disposable method available. WORLDeffinWIDE.
If you all love the oh so advanced "nucular" technology so much, why don¦t you move to your nearest nuclear reactor and start hugging your favorite containment vessels. They have such cool glowing pools around there, I bet you could read a book in its glow.
But that¦s the problem with people believing in all types of things. Like cow farts, breathing out and similar things can alter the climate, will kill the planet and therefore has to be taxed to save everybody. You types tend to believe in everything as long as it¦s written in an official looking book or told by other respectable media sources.
Tl;dr: Pity there aren¦t courses for common sense.
You are so ignorant it hurts. I think reading this post actually gave me cancer. I think that quite possibly not a single letter in your post is correct.

Originally by: Rainus Max TL:DR - Having a negative IQ is rare but I think you're the first person I've ever met with one.
Coming from the likes of you I take this as a glowing compliment.
To sum up all your long winded and arrogant posts: Nuclear energy is green because it only gives children cancer but doesn¦t harm nature with the ebil CO2. It is advanced because it¦s simple.
Righto, got it.
PPS, if a cow emits methane burbs then it has methane farts too, you masterful college graduate.
The thyroid cancers in children around Chernobyl was a terrible thing but you fail to understand it wasn't just the fact the radioactive material was emitted. The Soviets tried to hide the accident from the western world, things like evacuations would highlight something had gone wrong meaning those children were fed or drank contaminated food and drink. IF at the first sign of a problem they had evacuated the local population the cancer problem wouldn't of been that significant, Japan has evacuated the locals well before things started going badly so human contamination is going to be extremely minimal.
I agree that nuclear has its problems, that being said I would rather run the risk of a reactor emitting some mildly radioactive crap every now and again than watching as the millions (if not the odd billion) flee their homes or are killed as we change the climate and raise the sea levels. I trust science and if you don't want to that's fine but remember EVERY man-made item around you from the game you play down to the socks you wear have been created in some way by science and you take things like that for granted.
Oh and I didn't say a cow doesn't fart, I said its their burps that cause the problem.

Yes, it's nuclear power that is destroying the environment. It's a shame we have to choose because it's impossible to use nuclear power and fund research into other sources at the same time. OH CRUEL WORLD WHY MUST EVERYTHING BE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. |

Resources exist to be consumed. And consumed they will be, if not by this generation then by some future. By what right does this forgotten future seek to deny us our birthright? None I say! Let us take what is ours, chew and eat our fill.

And when at last it is time for the transition from megacorporation to planetary government, from entrepreneur to emperor, it is then that the true genius of our strategy shall become apparent, for energy is the lifeblood of this society and when the chips are down he who controls the energy supply controls Planet. In former times the energy monopoly was called "The Power Company"; we intend to give this name an entirely new meaning.

Do you have any idea how much land you have to strip clean or flood to use renewable generators? The area used versus power generated for most renewable is awful. The problem of intermittent generation cant just be solved by pumping the water back up a hill, you still need electricity to do it.
Nuclear power isn't the devil everyone makes it out and the reason the lobby has picked up recently is because we are rapidly running out of fossil fuels, renewable ain't in a position to take over and fusion is decades away. If you want electricity then you are going to have to accept our future is probably going to rely on nuclear power for a while.

Originally by: Thuranni Depleted Uranium is used as ballast in airplanes. It's used for ammunition (hardly a noble purpose, but if it was so INCREDIBLY DEADLY like you claim, soldiers would be reduced to green glowing husks just from handling their weapons).
I'm no expert, but it seems that in solid form the depleted uranium isn't that bad. But when shells made out of it strike a target, a portion of it vaporizes and becomes airborne. These tiny particles can then be inhaled and that's when they do become very dangerous indeed and can lead to all kinds of cancer or birth defects. The western countries should be ashamed for all the DU ammo we have used in for instance Iraq.

Or that you earn your everyday's bread in nuclear industry - this would put at least *some* sense into your words. But if you are not... then it's pretty sad actually.

I'm proud to be a citizen of the only country in the world that uses depleted uranium shells 
Also if you're close enough to the impact to inhale the particles you have bigger problems

"Renewable energy" is a waste of time. In our lifetimes or the next generation's we will have functioning fusion power plants which will blow anything we currently have access to out of the water, with none of the harmful side effects of nuclear power. Nuclear power plants are the best interim stage to this.
****ing around with windmills and other "renewables" is useless and only serves to let "green" politicians promote themselves.
