Reply #113: Summing up your arguments for nuclear energy [View All]

[kristopher]

You are saying that nuclear waste is bad but global warming is worse, therefore we should accept nuclear waste as the price of taking action on global warming.

Since renewable energy GHG emissions are equal to or less than nuclear energy;

and since renewable energy is less expensive than nuclear;

and since renewable energy can be deployed much more rapidly than nuclear energy;

and since renewable energy does not produce wastes posing anywhere near the level of threat resulting from nuclear wastes;

and since renewable energy has no possibility of being used to accelerate or encourage nuclear weapons proliferation;

you believe we should use nuclear energy.
