When green energy harms the enviroment

[Creed of Heresy]

That's always the problem with nuclear power; it appeals to neither side but it provides for everyone. It's ecological...if you don't cut the fucking corners in its construction and development. It's economical...but you always want to squeeze a few pennies out of construction because it IS a heavy initial investment. Economists want to cost-cut the plants. Greenies want to just plain cut them. Neither side is right, both of them are wrong. Nuclear power is not a simple, easy, convenient toy, it's an expensive juggernaut that can power tons of shit for a really long time. I almost think that nuclear power came too soon. The world wasn't ready for it. Now we ARE ready for it, but...old fears die hard. Still, until solar becomes reliable [yes, it provides lots of power reliably, but you have to rely on weather conditions to work with you and we should know better than to demand that of nature by now], ecologists should be backing nuclear power 100% on the conditions that the plants are carefully maintained and upgraded and funded.
