...Among other things, like the whole western world can stop relying on oil. So no more war accross the East, just nuke 'em or whatever.

And Australia has the largest amount of Uranium... ca-ching.

The Swedish have even given in to nuclear already. I'm sick of the ignorant arrogance of the majority vote.

In this country, it is so much more economically viable than coal, you don't have to mine as much, we have both on our doorstep, you don't need an ETS

Lol and the waste disposal should be easier. But I have a feeling even the more accepting generation would jump up and down if the gov proposed to use the desert as a dumping ground.

It just makes so much sense. I want to punch people in the face when they talk about nuclear power like it's armageddon.

yea that all sounds good but it would run out. we need to invest gradually in green energy. See estimates and these are really just estimates that if the whole world were to run purely on nuclear power we would be out of uranium 235 (in 10- 20 years.

however if it was purely just for us, then yea it would last us ages.

Do you realise just how much energy you get from nuclear fisson, the only mass destroyed in the blast the destroyed hiroshima was 1 gram, it would run out yes, but only after several million yrs, come back when you know what your talking about

How long will the world's uranium supplies last?: Scientific American

says 230 years at current rate of consumption, so imagine the entire world on nuclear power

though i will admit as the article goes about on new technologies that could increase the supply and extend the period but atm neither are economically viable

Load of crap...you justneed to re-enrich the uranium, not that hard or dangerous, a breeder reactor makes its own fuel and can get 100 time the power out of the same amount of uranium cos the free nuetrons fuse to make fissile material again

Some even operate producing more fissile material than they use

Here's my website:
Uranium: Supply of Uranium : World Nuclear Association

pretty sure we'll have far more efficient reactors than the conventional ones now. And recycling. And other crap listed in the website.
In 230 years we should have drilled into the Earth and started reaping the geothermal.
