Good point! "Switch to Solar Power!" is right--if the money wasted on nuclear plants had been put into solar research and production, it would have been accomplished successfully a long time ago.Raymond Alexander Kukkeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01347971987435644221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599994070177946721.post-12643749418391323802011-03-17T02:42:03.427-04:002011-03-17T02:42:03.427-04:00At the rate they invest in nuclear power there is ...At the rate they invest in nuclear power there is no reason why they cannot invest in solar power. ('they' being each and every country that is involved with the nuclear power deals). While the returns of solar energy are much more beneficial and rewarding, nuclear deals are the norm, like you so aptly said, Raymond,... "Where big money is concerned, it seems there is little genuine concern for the results of their money-making schemes, no matter how much pollution or how many potential problems they may cause." Selfish motives impact whole civilizations. And its time we wake up to defending our lives that are at the mercy of a handful. <br /><br />Switch to Solar Power!mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387928144381653423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599994070177946721.post-42021371315972979942011-03-16T14:31:09.871-04:002011-03-16T14:31:09.871-04:00Where big money is concerned, it seems there is li...Where big money is concerned, it seems there is little genuine concern for the results of their money-making schemes, no matter how much pollution or how many potential problems they may cause . The nuclear industry is no exception.<br /> Civilization needs to be weaned off of dirty oil and nuclear energy--there is clean solar energy to be had--and it's free. Let's get with it! Germany is WAY ahead of North America in solar and wind generation already. <br /><br />This tragedy is enough justification to revisit entirely the use of nuclear energy world-wide. Hopefully this disaster won't get any worse.Raymond Alexander Kukkeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01347971987435644221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599994070177946721.post-38952754093177871772011-03-16T10:31:33.519-04:002011-03-16T10:31:33.519-04:00I was so sad to hear about it yesterday on the new...I was so sad to hear about it yesterday on the news. So many people who have escaped the dangers of the earthquake and tsunami now have to worry about their lives due to the radiation. For many its like a lose-lose situation.mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387928144381653423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599994070177946721.post-69087241687029155032011-03-15T22:10:42.764-04:002011-03-15T22:10:42.764-04:00Steven Chu the energy tsar has already announced t...Steven Chu the energy tsar has already announced that he has no plans for any slow-down of nuclear energy. <br />all of Europe is on alert, they are shutting down plants in several countries, for inspection, and re-evaluating their resources..<br />germany has seen several human chains of anti-nukes peacefully demonstrating the people power.<br />we need dynamo run bicycles to power our computers and tvs , and solar panels on every roof...man has invented bigger things which he cannot control--nature will laugh last..nadine sellershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02101334796439082551noreply@blogger.com
