Problem no. 1
The following views are my own, and highly opinionated. feel free to point out errors. If you have a problem with my swearing, fucking deal with it.
The nuclear energy debate
What is the problem with nuclear energy? people are so worried about having nuclear power staions near them, for fear of radiation poisoning, nuclear meltdown, etc. i have several pints to make about this.
no.1 incase people didn't already no, their is a nuclear power station in sydney. This is used to produced medical materials for treatment of cancer. i would like to note that it HASN'T FUCKING EXPLODED!
no.2 Chernobyl. Chernobyl is probably the worst nuclear disaster in history. when the chernobyl no.4 generator exploded, it spread radioactive debris over most of western europe. This raised many qusetions about the safety of nuclear energy. I would like to make several important notes.
Chernobyl was a very shoddily maintained nuclear facility in the first place. this was one of the contributing factors.
second of all, and MOST importantly, the engineers truned of the safety in order to run several tests. this was completely idiotic and is the main factor that contributed to the melt down.
This is the main reason that many people in Australia don't want nuclear power. This is were they are wrong. And here are some reasons.
Nuclear power is a clean energy source. its reliable. as for nuclear waste, theres a fucking unused desert in the middle of australia. the best storage oppurtunity. and if that doesn't work, then we could end up with cool mutants.
Of all the nuclear power plants in the world, only two have had meltdowns. The first is chernobyl, the details of which i have listed above, the other is 3 mile island, which i don't know anything about. thats TWO of the hundreds of plants that had a meltdown. the chance are astronomical.
Finally, we have massive stores of uranium in australia, why not fucking use them! sell them to other countries! use them ourselves! just do something with them instead of letting them sit there! I'm talking to you Mr. Rudd!
I hope you enjoyed (or got aggraveted) by my blog.
