Comments on: How can I make the Prime Minister of my own country (Australia) understand that Nuclear energy is not clean? http://renewableenergykit.com/195/how-can-i-make-the-prime-minister-of-my-own-country-australia-understand-that-nuclear-energy-is-not-clean/ Renewable Energy Resource and Information Tue, 11 May 2010 09:33:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2 By: interwebpresence http://renewableenergykit.com/195/how-can-i-make-the-prime-minister-of-my-own-country-australia-understand-that-nuclear-energy-is-not-clean/comment-page-1/#comment-812 interwebpresence Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:56:59 +0000 http://renewableenergykit.com/195/how-can-i-make-the-prime-minister-of-my-own-country-australia-understand-that-nuclear-energy-is-not-clean/#comment-812 Our prime minister is trying to tell the Nuclear power is going to combat global warming. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,20592658-662,00.html John Howard is lying.

Storm and P. Smith (2005), http://www.stormsmith.nl/ the authors calculate that with high quality ores, the CO2 produced by the full nuclear life cycle is about one half to one third of an equivalent sized gas-fired power station. For low quality ores (less than 0.02% of U3O8 per tonne of ore), the CO2 produced by the full nuclear life cycle is EQUAL TO that produced by the equivalent sized gas-fired power station. Nuclear energy is NOT the answer to Climate Change, it is just another method of increasing development and giving more public money to big business. The fundamental solution to reducing the effects of climate change is simple.

Blowing up a nuclear bomb and testing are a whole differant thing..<br><b>References : </b><br> Theres nothing wrong with it, it is clean and the only real solution for energy if people would just get the facts about it, coal fired power plants are what are causing all the problems, if people think they are going to have electric/hydrogen cars, the only way is with wind power or nuclear power.

Do you think this would work on a large scale? No because they can not produce enough power for a whole city. No because it would not work in areas where is is extremely cold as they also they more cloudy days and more days with less sunlight. So we have other options you would say such as wind and wind has the same problems. Not enough capacity to generate enough power. We would need many many wind farms. Have you seen how ugly a wind farm is? Nuclear energy is a clean fuel the rods themselves last for many many years yielding energy for many thousands of people with no green house gas emissions. Meanwhile perhaps you could encourage your locale utilities to experiment with ways to get more energy to the people with the use of solar collectors located in more places but where they would not be obtrusive.<br><b>References : </b><br> You know it works for you.
