If you like reading about this kind of stuff, sciencenews.com. It often will report on things before it makes it to general news, often six months before.

This has been reported. By me. Hence me writing this. Which leads the question am I writing when I'm pressing keys on a keyboard? Interesting how the meaning of some words changes over time.

I'm guessing you meant sciencenews.org. My anti-virus didn't like sciencenews.com .

So you were typing it is what you meant to say. The real question is whether I am typing or tapping this since I am using a touchscreen...

Not powered by the sun: geothermal, tidal, fission (though the material was created in a star), and, ironically, fusion. |

It doesn't produce carbon. The nuclear waste can be contained in a small area. It might not be ideal for certain areas like on a fault line in California, but generally is safe. The carbon footprint of the nuclear facility is smaller than other renewables.
The biggest problems with nuclear are public perception and funding. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciStnd9Y2ak[/ame] [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-yALPEpV4w[/ame]

Nuclear will be the only way to go until we can actually have useful solar panels. Only ignorance and people intentionally spreading scary misinformation is keeping it back. Don't put a power plant on a fault or near an ocean, and reuse the nuclear waste several times, and there are nuclear power plants that can actually use up the waste so there is nothing left.
Our energy grid is severely overburdened. Only nuclear power will be enough for the planet to have all the energy it needs. |

Of course, ending the first one by quoting Bono was little bit of a head shaker for me, Celebrity endorsements for this type of thing always make my knees hit the bottom of my desk. But hey, whatever works for your presentation.

Bigly problem with nukluar is that nobody wants anything to do with the compost.
Don't even want to think about it. Still sitting there at Hanford draining into the river, but no. Everything is fine. Look! Over there! Something something.

Probably cheaper to move the river.
