Cuhulin,

So... The Present Day Choice is "The Nuke Stuff"
-or- Clean Burning Coal at 1/10,,, 1/100... 1/1000 ! ! !
The Centuries---Millenniums Long Environmental Pollution

What Do We Do For the Next 10 to 20 to 40 to 80 Years
Until We Get To Some 'Other' Clean Safer More Sustainable
Fuel and Power Source.

and that's the way 'i' see it ~ RHF

Thorium Fission + Solar/Wind + Fusion in 40 years = permanent
solution.

? How Do You Shut Down The Un-Safe Deadly Polluting
Nuclear Power Plants Now {Today] An Get To There !

First ? How Do You Shut Down -a- Clean Coal !

Second ? The Un-Safe Deadly Polluting Nuclear Power
Plants Now {Today] *-a- Clean Coal !

Third ? An Get To There -a- Clean Coal !

Wind Takes Up To Much Land : An Is Only A Supplement
Power Source To Some Prime Source Like . . .
Clean Coal !

Solar Takes Up To Much Land : An Is Only A Half-Answer
{Daylight} Power Source To A Full-Time Source Like . . .
Clean Coal !

Thorium Fission Is Still A Source of Nuclear Radiation
And Radiation By Products and Waste -while- Clean
Coal Has Significantly Less of Both.

ROTFL Fusion in 40 years -oh-well- Until Then Clean Coal !

America's Answer Remains for the Next 10 to 20 to 40+
Years -is- Clean Coal - imho ~ RHF

You must be living in a vacuum.

Thorium = No meltdowns
Thorium = Much lower grade, *much* shorter half-life, MUCH more
manageable wastes.
Thorium = Technology about take off in other countries. AGAIN, the USA
is falling behind.
Thorium = A way to burn existing nuclear waste into less harmful
materials.
Thorium = An eminently abundant fuel supply for 1,000 years.
Thorium = No reehouse emissions at all.

Solar = dropping costs almost daily.
Solar = No greenhouse emissions at all.
Solar = Ability to be placed on every rooftop, parking lot and freeway
in America without damaging other resources. *10,000 square miles (and
dropping daily) will power the entire nation.
Solar = Held back only by oil and coal politics.
Solar = Abundant fuel for more than 1,000,000,000 years.

Fusion = Held back by coal and oil politics.
Fusion = Putting to bed almost all the problems of fission
Fusion = Predicted ablity to be commercial in 50 years if we have the
foresight to fund research.
Fusion = No greehouse emissions at all.
Fusion = Abundant fuel for 16,000,000,000,000 years.

The pieces are in place. *Basically, all we lack right now are
foresight, imagination and the politics to make things actually happen
- you know, all the things that made America Great to start with. Guys
like you, with your prejudices and can't do attitude, hold us back.

Stop looking backward.

A nuclear power plant has got to be the most convoluted, complex, Rube
Goldberg plan for boiling goddamn water that anybody ever came up
with.


Or maybe there are a million steps in the nuclear power process
precisely so somebody can turn a profit every single step of the way.
Maybe it is *deliberately* complicated. It would be pretty cynical to
believe that corporations would gouge, rip off, endanger and generally
screw society over for money. Because we all know that they care.
