Wonder why more Malaysians aren't hitting the roof about being led down this path especially when we have so many other, renewable sources of energy at our disposal.<br /><br />Just because humans are smart enough to figure stuff out doesn't necessarily mean that what we figure out is good for us. I feel nuclear power is one of those discoveries and we should use our intelligence to keep that particular genie well and truly inside the bottle.ecowarriorznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1251936018525038960.post-33703666938901933022010-10-18T14:40:38.173+08:002010-10-18T14:40:38.173+08:00While the costs of mining, construction, operation...While the costs of mining, construction, operation and decomissioning have rightly been mentioned, I must highlight the continued fraudulent association of "green" or "renewable" with nuclear. A source of energy is one of these if it taps useful energy from the natural gradient of solar energy. Fossil fuels are not in this category even though their energy originally came from the sun. In the same way, nuclear (radioactive fuels) have nothing to do with "green" or "renewable" as the energy for their creation came into play billions of years ago. It is this energy from outside the current cycle - far older than in fossil fuels - that we are releasing into the hothouse of the biosphere.<br /><br />Also, the article does not sufficiently expose the main aspect touted by promoters: cost. The industry is probably the best example anywhere of capitalist fraud. It is never profitable in any freely competitive unsubsidised arena where all financial costs (let alone non-financial ones) are evaluated. Read Amory Lovins for more info. There is only one reason why any additional country would take on this nightmare.semuanya OK kotnoreply@blogger.com
