Nuclear energy problems

Nuclear is tricky and dirty but it has been safely handled by the US Navy and France (which sells excess power to Spain and Portugal)on a large scale over half a century.  Negatives involved with fossil fuel consumption and their impending exhaustion will have a significant impact on life as we know it now.  The industrial world has been building its civilization around availability of cheap oil/gas/coal for over a century.  Substitute renewable sources are so far removed in degree from replacing fossil fuels that it probably will  take a major, world-wide technological project to develop all renewables, costing trillions of dollars to replace old sources before collapse of civilization as we know it. Such a project would require international cooperation and wealth expenditure of a magnitude never before seen on earth and would make the old Space Race seem like a Kindergarten project.  Without this, the hunter/gatherer lifestyle will be the one to be emulated.  On An interview with longtime anti-nuclear activist Helen Caldicott posted 4 years, 6 months ago 18 Responses
