Thread: Nuclear Energy is Safe

Don't be mislead by the statements and half-truths of the environmentalists. They have an agenda and their agenda is to use billions and billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to subsidize the development of "green energy" to satisfy our future energy needs. In fact, this is the very reason they opposed the Keystone XL pipeline project. This pipeline from our neighbor, Canada will provide our nation with an inexpensive, reliable emery source using proven technology for many, many years to come.

Here is the truth about modern-day nuclear power reactors. In fact, France today uses safe and efficient nuclear technology to safely satisfy 75% of the energy needs of their country. They also use their safe, reliable nuclear reactors to generate excess electrical power that they then sell for a profit to other nearby countries in Europe!

Back in the mid 1970's with the oil embargo, both the U.S. and France were at a crossroads. France chose nuclear and Jimmy Carter and the Democrats chose coal. The Democrats have a proven track record of being dead wrong on energy, why on Earth would anyone let them do it to us again this time with solar? It's a really safe bet to do the opposite of what they want to succeed.

Also, because it was a poorly-designed graphite core reactor, with safeties bypassed, and with no containment building!

Fukushima is an example of why you should not build your reactors along an area prone to tsunamis.

I am the FIRST to say that nuclear power plants should not be built on fault lines or in an area prone to a tsunami!

Interesting!

I agree.

however, I believe that site selection is no longer allowed.

You are indeed correct, Professor Peabody.

Democrats have always been dead wrong on energy policy. Today, they are no different.

Such "environmentalists" are either naive idiots or corrupted leftists who are hardly working to destroy the western manufacturing and to send the rest of fabrics to China where power is more cheaper. We need to test this "environmentalists" by psychiatrists, most of those are really mentally ill people who want to make our power supply twenty times more expensive.There is not alternative to the nuclear energy in the next fifty years.
