Government today gave the go-ahead to a new raft of nuclear power stations. With our increasing reliance on expensive imported energy and commitment to reducing carbon emissions, is nuclear the way forward? Or do you think it is too dangerous and environmentally unsound? Should we concentrate on energy efficiency and renewable sources rather than building new power stations? Have your say.
Nuclear waste is a problem, but very little high level waste is produced, a few tons, compared with 1000`s of tons of CO2 A balance of "green" energy , fossil fuels, and 50 or 60% nuclear is needed for a sustainable energy supply.. Forget sending the waste to outer space,
vitrification and deep burial are viable long term solutions available now...
We should'nt have to rely on foreign countries to supply us with power they have us by the short & curlies...bring it on..
yes yes yes.
Nuclear power is the only possible energy source that could satisfy our growing demands. It is safe, it is very clean and holds a record of harming the health of far less people over the decades than coal or other fossil burning generators.
The uk is surrounded by the sea with strong currents, surely this energy could be tapped if we had investment from the government. Perhaps not, they only seem interested in nuclear power!
