Nuclear Power Plants

I think it was upgraded to be one of the worst three earthquakes in modern history it actually moved the Earth.

Yeah, the one in Chile that was just after the one in Haiti actually was so strong days became slightly shorter. Earthquakes are pretty damn strong.

well i don't have anything against nuclear power plants...there is just one in our country and if the goverment decides to stop it they will have to build numerous coal or hidro plants witch will destroy and pollute more air and destroy natural beauty of rivers or something else...

I don't see hydro electric stations being a problem as the electricity is generated by water not fossil fuels.

Yes, I recently returned from my vacation from Iceland, and I saw several hydro plants, which worked very well. There was one that was built underground, so you'd only see a few small buildings instead of the whole plant. I'm pro-nuclear energy, but if you have such good opportunities to get even safer energy (Take Switzerland and Austria) with hydro plants, I say go for it.

Eh, Hydro Power can't be used in as many places as a Nuke Plant could. I think my area is ran by Nuclear power.

well yes hydro plants aren't so polutetive as nuclear or coal plants but they do not produce same enough electricity and in our country the goverment is trying to install new law which will make new hydro plants on river nearby my home and destroy it with flooding many natural stuff around this river so we can forget sights like this on this river

but on the other hand with all the money our goverment would put in this stuff they could upgrade and renovate our nuclear plant and it could produce more electricity...or they could make a new nuclear plant somwhere ( if they would get enough money)

It is true that there's a possibility that the rivers would look less beautiful if a hydro plant is installed there. However, they can also create very nice lakes, and still are a great solution, especially when the area is geologically not interesting for nuclear energy (unsuitable terrain, a lot of geological activity etc.)

I would be rich right now living in high class of Americans. If wasnt for hydro power. TVA flooded we lost all are land. They didnt pay top dollar. I think 1.50 an acre. Now were just middle class. Good oh America.

Oh the hardships of the middle class?

yes but that river right here is already almost maxed out of energy that the hydro plants can prduce and in our country there is many free space to make nuclear power plant or like i said before they could upgrade the old one or renovate it...

Well, let's be fair, you did put your faith in the GOVERNMENT.
And only a fool would trust the state with anything more than he had to.

Yeah, if there's enough space, a nuclear plant would also be a good solution, especially when there already is a power plant.

You poor thing. G-d forbid that your family can't afford a third car. :roll:

Question:

Where are we going to get our energy once Uranium runs out?

We still have huge amounts of uranium left and by the time it runs out we will have probably figured out how to use green energy sources to produce lots of electricity.

Wouldn't it be more efficient in the long term to just go with green energy now, so that when we eventually have to transition out of uranium it will be more efficient?

No it's kinda inefficient they produce very little electricity we need better technology if were going to use green energy.

I understand that green energy would be inefficient if we were to switch over to it now.
But i also think that if we were to switch over to green energy, we would make more progress into making green energy efficient.

Why should we put up wind turbines if we know they don't work that effectively it's just a waste of money but if we do more research we create more efficient turbines that produce more electricity at a lower cost.
