- Forget Yucca Mountain: use the former nuke test sites for radioactive waste storage! - Jacob Samorodin - 5/14/2005 3:17:59 PM

    - I'm not convinced that nuclear fusion will reduce the amount of radioactive waste produced versus conventional fission powerplants - SDF - 5/14/2005 3:04:58 PM
      - Even a deuterium-tritium fusion reaction produces much less radioactive material than fission - Gary - 5/14/2005 4:21:14 PM
        
        Actually the fusion reactor chamber remains dangerously radiactive for 100 years - SDF - 5/15/2005 1:00:35 PM
        
        Don't be stupid... - Adam - 5/15/2005 2:15:42 PM
        
        I'm not being stupid, short-lived vs. long-lived isotopes is a pointless arguement when they are gradually accumulating in larger and larger amounts. (n/t) - SDF - 5/15/2005 3:36:29 PM
      - add: when the oil runs out, nuclear power won't keep your car running - SDF - 5/14/2005 3:19:25 PM
        
        Nuclear power can run your car - SDG - 5/14/2005 4:15:28 PM
        
        Short answer: if you have enough electrical power, you can do pretty much anything. - Tom Brosz - 5/14/2005 6:41:22 PM
        
        Obvious question: How expensive is an electric car now? - SDF - 5/15/2005 3:57:32 PM
        
        Pure electric cars are not economical - Gary - 5/15/2005 4:05:42 PM
        
        Wait for it. - Tom Brosz - 5/15/2005 8:31:39 PM

        You nailed it - Gary - 5/16/2005 5:50:06 AM
        
        Hydrocarbons have better uses - Gary - 5/14/2005 11:17:13 PM

        People will move and lifestyles will change if oil runs out. - Scott Evil - 5/16/2005 4:11:45 PM

        Why doesn't some enterprising individual buy up the empty office space - Scott Evil - 5/18/2005 2:09:49 PM
        
        Fossil fuel economics are bogus - Gary - 5/15/2005 3:59:43 PM
        
        So when the new oil runs out.... reminiscent of a pyramid scheme! lol (n/t) - SDF - 5/16/2005 12:35:07 PM
        
        Isn't that what Kyoto Accord was about? Assigning a monetary value to GHG emissions so they could be accounted as an internal business expense? - SDF - 5/16/2005 12:49:59 PM
        
        I hear CO2 credits are going for about $20 a ton in Europe. (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 5/17/2005 4:12:39 AM

- I'm not convinced that carbon emissions will lead to global warming - SDF - 5/13/2005 5:24:04 AM
  - Nuclear will still be a good idea, global warming or not. - Tom Brosz - 5/13/2005 6:43:55 AM
    - I'm not convinced that nuclear is a good idea - SDF - 5/13/2005 7:18:46 AM
      - Bio-fuels need to be pushed but the greens hate them because they still emit CO2 - Scott Evil - 5/13/2005 3:00:53 PM

        How practical is dumping nuke waste into the Sun? - ljk - 5/13/2005 5:04:10 PM
        
        That's actually a trick question - Gary - 5/14/2005 4:16:22 AM
        
        Bury the waste on the Moon or some other planetary body. - Lee - 5/14/2005 2:40:15 AM

        It's one job the U.N. could do. - Lee - 5/14/2005 5:31:22 AM

        Why don't they put more blades and then add a variable transmission so that the blades spin slower, while producing more electricity? - Scott Evil - 5/16/2005 3:33:24 PM
        
        More blades doesn't necessarily mean more energy... - Larry J - 5/17/2005 1:56:43 PM
