Agreed, i've heard that it will cost more when we "have to"change our ways than if we "choose to"change our ways.
Good luck convincing the politicians though, Kevin Rudd has a bachelor of arts and speaks Chinese, what would he know about energy? Other than what he is advised by his fat cats?
There has been one level 7 disaster. This is comparable to the Bhopal disaster in India where a pesticide plant had a leak, estimated death toll was 8,000 however doctor reports push that up to almost 15,000. 100,000 people still suffer from it today. Should we ban all pesticides? Have you ever heard of it before?

woops an accident,

The pesticide carbaryl is still commonly used. That was the pesticide that was leaked.

Yup nuclear accidents cause less than 3% of our background radiation dose. 18% of background radiation is man made, 15% is from medical applications like X-rays and nuclear medicine. The other 3% is from all other man made thing, nuclear disasters falls under this. Yes this was a horrible accident but there have been far worse accidents. It is just that radioactive is a buzz word.

Normally is the key word. You receive radiation on a daily basis.

Yes, I do. And I don't want to receive MORE of it, thank you.
Neither do I but nuclear reactors are normally safe and contribute to less than 3% of the background radiation we receive.

You already posted that. I read it and we agree your government needs to tighten regulations.

Yea, I hear ya. But there's still some benefit to them though. Here's a cool concept that is already working.....This inventor created a wind turbine that looks much safer and bird friendly.

Well, I thought it was cool. It's cool that it can work in conjunction with solar as well.
I'm thoroughly convinced that one alternative source won't do it fo us. It just may be a combination of sources. Nuclear and the continued use of fossil fuels prove not to be the "solution" for us.
Gas prices in my area range from $4 - 4.80 for regular/supreme and $5 per gal for diesel.
Saw on the news that GM is closing 4 of their truck/suv plants because of the high fuel prices and because consumers are buying smaller cars and hybrids. GM is also thinking of selling the Hummer Distribution.
I have a co-worker of mine, her and her husband, own two suvs and one truck and she can't even trade her one suv in because she would take a loss on it. She wants a small 4 cyl or a hybrid now. Just on her suv alone she spends about $400 per month just in gas.
