I think we should stop using nuclear power plants because it's an old system that we can't control.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The whole idea of a nuclear system is to have a deterrent where we decide if we're going to use it.
Look at Fukushima. Should we or should we not agree with the U.S. government that none of that radioactive energy is making its way here? Hello!
We must not let ourselves be swept off our feet in horror at the danger of nuclear power. Nuclear power is not infinitely dangerous. It's just dangerous, much as coal mines, petrol repositories, fossil-fuel burning and wind turbines are dangerous.
We have to get rid of those nuclear weapons.
If our nation wants to reduce global warming, air pollution and energy instability, we should invest only in the best energy options. Nuclear energy isn't one of them.
There is no need for nuclear. The world can be powered by wind, water and sun alone.
I assume we will have figured out a way to efficiently utilize solar energy and tied that to an efficient way to use nuclear energy in such a way that it doesn't pose a serious environmental issue.
Nuclear power is here to stay, and we need to support a strong domestic uranium industry.
I believe that nuclear needs to be a part of the solution if the U.S. really wants to be aggressive about reducing carbon.
If a power station were to be built down the road, I'd prefer a nuclear plant over an oil burner, and definitely over a coal burner. We simply have to lessen our consumption of fossil fuels.
