Nuclear is so wrong in so many ways let alone maintanance and decomissioning.
You have to look at what is happening in northen Japan to understand what
happens to the worlds nuclear waste.
We have enough trouble shooting a few people into orbit let alone one of the
heaviest materials on earth for density.
Umm let me see didnt a couple of suttles go down in the past thanks to archaic
liquid rocket technology which wont be phased out anytime in the next 200 years.

The spent nuclear rods are scary and completely unstable if not cooled for 5
years using cold ocean water that is pumped and regulated then they are dry
stored in special concrete containers in the mountains or dry areas.

In japan instead of using boric acid they are flushed with ocean water which is then
released back into the ocean.
Spent nuclear rods contain 99 per cent of the total radiation and will go critical
if not cooled properly.

Its corporations brainwashing poor souls into the technology is good when in fact
its the most expensive technology of all.
Even Toshiba is now working on micro-plants for small towns in Alaska and sponsoring
the small town with free electricity.
If you knew how Toshiba does business in these sensitive areas in order to have test
beds youd never consider buying their products down to their laptops and HDD.
There are hundreds of better energy producing technologies that are sustainable could
employ thousands and can be all done here in Australia.
I have a tennis buddy that works for Pacific Hydro as an engineer and its just the
government stopping any forward movement thanks to corporations and major bank interests.
If we dont pay for electricity and utility bills and have all this cash to spend for what we really want do you think the government and the big corps would be happy?
All of a sudden you will get people tired of consumption and looking to evolve and spend
less time working and more time with friends and outdoor or other activities.
The Big wigs cant let that happen otherwise we are not productive human bovine anymore.

Imagine us free to work on our datsuns and spend money developing datsun parts for our community it just wont be right for big wigs if they cannot control our spending.
