When green energy harms the enviroment

[Creed of Heresy]

Poc: Just to point out, a friend of my brother drives a truck for a company that handles nuclear waste from nuclear reactors. I asked him about the shipping methods and he tells me that the trucks themselves are lead-lined and hardened so that even in the case of a full-on crash with another semi, the transport housing won't be breached. They also do not stick to a particular schedule or route, so good luck to the terrorists trying to predict where they will be and when, especially since the trucks are unmarked. It's not like they're just tossing these barrels in a random semi and waving toodle-oo to it at the same time every day. There's actually a metric fuckton of regulations in the US for nuclear waste disposal and the handling methods.

TGAC: I respectfully disagree. It is a VERY viable alternative to fossil fuels, for all the reasons so far listed. As has been pointed out, almost every 4G reactor basically consumes its own waste for additional power. Plus we're not talking about using this indefinitely for a a million years. Or even 1000 years. Maybe a hundred at most. Even if the waste DID last a million years, I'm pretty sure that we'd devise a way to deal with it at some point in that incredibly epic time-frame. I mean, hell, as has been pointed out, current reactors already consume the radioactive decay of the toxic waste produced. Might want to take a few steps outside of the Radical Green Zone for a few minutes and think sensibility rather than just screaming "NO!!" Facts support nuclear power, all there is to it.
