Nuclear? No Way!

Some above commentary proposed that we should take it as obvious that we will be needing to create and use yet more nuclear power plants in order to meet the challenge of climate change/global warming. This is NOT so. Nuclear power generation has myriad serious environmental
down sides, to say the very least. Not least of which is that we can't handle the waste. But there is also not an infinite supply of fissable material for the reactors. All in all, nukes are not a good thing.

So ... What is a good thing? A good thing would be to use far less energy, unless that energy is truly renewable -- such as solar and wind. But even then, we should learn how to do the most with the least.

One of the best ideas out there is called "access by proximity" -- a term which I believe was probably coined by the ecocity guru, Richard Register. Access by proximity drastically reduces automobile dependency and use. So, let's not make electric cars and fuel them with nukes, okay? Let's use our intelligence and create intelligent human habitats which are in harmony with nature's own ways.On What the warming world needs now is art, sweet art posted 4 years, 3 months ago 8 Responses
