One of the political/commercial maneuvers to forward nuclear power is to green wash it. And the reason that they have to green wash it is because they truly do not have any method known to man, at present day, that can cancel out the hot nuclear radiation and convert this raw plutonium and uranium back into non-radioactive elements. Even though such a science does exist, the powers to be don’t want to consider it.
Obviously, green washing is cheap and the general population on this planet is not too intelligent. Therefore, the general population is easily fooled and the nuclear power plants can just pay a few people under the table and voila! Business as usual.
But let’s face it, nuclear power is not just very expansive to operate, but what is problematic is that every nuclear power plant is stuck with storing the ever accumulating millions upon millions of gallons of hot nuclear waste because no one wants that stuff shipped across their backyard.
In addition to the ghost towns, we probably have millions of people who are downwind from Chernobyl who are gradiently displaying a variety of cancers
We have already had several major nuclear power plant mishaps also known as meltdowns – 3 Mile Island and Chernobyl, just to name a couple that hit the front page. Most Americans are unaware of how devastating Chernobyl was in Russia. Couple million population cities had to be evacuated, and today they’re nothing but ghost towns.
Of course, in addition to the ghost towns, we probably have millions of people who are downwind from Chernobyl who are gradiently displaying a variety of cancers. Again, while mainstream news media does report some of it in the local newspapers, it certainly doesn’t hit the United States newspapers.
One should never support nuclear power production for anything! There are too many modern technologies, such as magnetic energy generators that are totally clean and virtually energy free, as far as what does it takes to run it. It is this type of energy that needs to develop.
Also, massive research needs to be funded by the nuclear power plants to develop and pay for the clean up of the millions upon millions of gallons of hot radioactive nuclear waste that has been dumped or are stored away. And I’m not talking about finding some remote location to bury it and forget about it. Nuclear waste isn’t the kind of thing that you can put it out of sight and out of mind. It has an awful long half-life.
