Just read yet another article on Nuclear Power in light of events in Japan
----------------------------------------One extract reads "Critics continue to argue that there will never be a truly safe nuclear power plant, and it’s true: Any time you split atoms, there’s risk. But nuclear plants have one thing going for them that hasn’t changed since the leak at Fukushima. They generate badly needed electricity without creating greenhouse gases that cause global warming." So.... If the World wasn't actually warming due to our creation of so called greenhouse gases What would nuclear plants have going for them? Herein the above lies the lie. Which is it? |

Whenever I see GW being debated (existance, causes), I find myself wondering why the debate is necessary. At least in terms of what should be done to curb it.
My thinking, is that GW shouldn't be a prerequisite for us, as human beings, to endeavour to find ways to be better stewards of the world we live in. |

----------------------------------------It's put yourself in the dark hour today whoohoo I wonder why we have something called enlightenment  Anniekenes I am right behind you with the good stewardship It's just that Man Made Global Warming aka Anthropogenic Global Warming aka "Climate Change" aka "Global climate disruption" has nothing to do with taking care of the resources we have and living in a sustainable manner. Nothing at all Just one case in point being the new nuclear deployment going ahead in it's name Progress is not however always bad thing it enables us to do more with less. Check out the thread in my sig. One of our projects is the Clean Energy Project There's nothing wrong with Solar, Wind, Wave, River, Tidal, Hydro, Geothermal and Combined Heat and Power schemes derived from our rubbish and biomass from agriculture that is required to feed us - all of which reduce our dependency on fossil fuels. Let's not demonise CO2, without which there is no life on earth, and make the mistake of embracing Cs-137 as the greatest (and greenest) thing since sliced bread in it's place. Dave |

This response to the 1p cut in duty so that petrol is now £1.32-9 a litre makes me smile
----------------------------------------http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/georgem...-green-fuel-duty-planning The "greenest government ever" has delivered the blackest budget in living memory. It provides a roaring incentive to use more oil, just as we might be heading towards an oil crisis. It has given the green light to the aviation industry to keep expanding, despite the government's promise to limit its impact. It has made a mockery of green investment. A roaring incentive to use more oil  ROFLMAO We just can't get enough of the cheap petrol sloshing around our fuel tanks in the UK We've gone wild making totally unnecessary journey's due to this bonanza Monbiot the comic genius  Dave [Edit 2 times, last edit by David Autumns at Mar 26, 2011 10:42:08 PM] |
