I feel alot of peoples fears are based on an irrational fear of radiation.
Fearing radiation is irrational? Certainly you jest!
I would like to hear what anti-nuke people have to say, and why they feel the way they do. My only goal is for both sides to maybe gain a little insight and knowledge.
The long-term effects of non-nuclear forms of energy are well known and manageable; the downsides are even reversible over time. The same cannot be said of nuclear energy: we do
not know what the future will bring us with all that crap stored in the ground. If we stopped using fossil-fueled electricity today, the greenhouse gasses associated with its production would slowly clear up. If we stopped using nuclear energy today, all that shit stored in the ground will still be with us for thousands of years.
Nuclear energy is a stupid idea; no rational society would prefer it over the currently-available alternatives (which are, admittedly, all somewhat stupid ideas in their own right).
