Every nuclear explosion since 1945

[Creed of Heresy]

Fucking hell, Moros, take a hit of the bong [then pass it my way plz] and calm down. XD Don't need to bite my head off. When I was referring to the unreliability of solar panels I did not mean that the panels themselves are unreliable; I am referring to the aforementioned power supply methods themselves being unreliable or inefficient. Am I saying that they should not be built? Hell no. Anything that is resource-efficient, economically sustainable and ecologically sustainable is aces in my book. But unfortunately with solar panels, you ARE stuck with dealing with inclement weather. Cloudy days aren't gonna provide quite as much juice as sunny days, na'mean? And like...I can't remember who [sorry] said, the systems for windpower have to shoulder a heavy burden and can be pretty cost-heavy to maintain. As far as dams go, I KNOW I was stating the obvious; that was kind of the point. XD You can't rely solely on any one of those resources, and in truth it's not really likely we could rely solely on all of them, either. Hence, nuclear power. That or geothermal power but I'm not exactly too knowledgeable on that so I'll pass on that topic for now.

So with this in mind I have to ask Welsh Cake; why're you so proud of scrapping your plans to build new reactors? Congrats, bro, you're gonna replace those with more chemical-burning plants! You know, increasingly-finite resources? Good luck with that, lemme know how that works out for you guys in about 30 years or so... Except, wait, your country doesn't even HAVE a plan for what they're gonna replace it with! EVEN MORE BRILLIANT. 8D

Also, yes, nuclear power plants are a bit pricey to get started but once running they're actually very economical to maintain, require low resource input, have high energy output, and produce zero emissions, and if we could just get that containment facility built, it would be just fine. As far as the Nevadans whining goes; they were bitching about a storage facility being built an hour's drive away from them at closest, one that was pretty much designed to cause zero environmental damage on the grounds the thing was designed to be completely sealed tight. Ignorant idiots jumping to conclusions. And of COURSE it didn't have funding; WHADDYA THINK HAPPENS when people don't support a project because of their short-sightedness? Funding dries up.

If more people supported building more reactors there'd be more demand for the newer reactors, which means the safer, far more efficient reactors with less waste output and with better heat management and failsafes and friggin' EVERYTHING THAT WOULD NIX EVERY SINGLE ISSUE THESE IMBECILES KEEP BITCHING ABOUT.

*deep breath*

Also I'm surprised nobody got my "launch it into the sun" joke. Nobody watches Futurama??

[Also don't let my opinions and my, er, zealotry on the subject give you the idea I'm trying to mock you or that I'm looking down on you; this is one of my more favorite topics of discussion and if you haven't figured out by now that I get a bit...fiery in discussions, we haven't posted back and forth enough yet. ;D ]
