Default Nuclear energy on its way out.:)

Japanese were asked what should be done regarding the nation's nuclear
power plants, 2 percent said more nuclear plants should be built.
Twenty-five percent said they are in favor of the status-quo, while 42
percent said the number of plants should be reduced. Twenty-one
percent said all nuclear power plants should be eliminated.

Germany is eliminating all nuke plants by 2020 by making coal fired
plants more efficient. Sorry no link someone else posted this here.

In any case it will likely take one more nuke plant accident to kill
the entire industry. The companies involved can move to cleaning up
old plants...


First nuclear, next fossil fuels.

With oil only getting scarcer, the third-world and China
will also turn to coal, only without all the fancy -smancy
pollution controls. As the third-world steps up and becomes
as industrialized as the west, we should expect an explosion
in the amount of greenhouse gasses being pumped into the sky
no matter what the west does.

But if China goes to democracy as did the Soviet Union, we
might have a chance of keeping emissions 'survivable'.

The 'Gang of Twelve' people, whose bright smiling faces
adorn the pictures below, OWNS a FIFTH of Humanity
as slaves. No wonder they're smiling.

We should ALL know their names and faces, and curse the
ground they walk on at every opportunity. That is, if we
wish to leave behind the age of barbarism, and allow
humanity to finally become civilized.
