i mean... the current method of producing energy is not bad either.. i mean.. the world is not running out of petroleum or natural gas... tankers are still moving right? ppl said petrol is finishing soon tat's why price so high... actually it's all about the futures market.. these speculator wanna untung money so purposely play the price til high.... earth still haz a LOT of natural resources... why not spend more on enhancing the current method.. instead of wasting money on nuclear power... because the total sum will shows more negative value in the government's account book if we wanna spend on nuclear

I disagree. Current energy production is mostly powered by coal, which pollute environment so much than nuclear power. Nuclear power does pollute environment BUT only when disaster kicks in. It is one of the cleanest power on earth beside solar. Ferrari can send you to your destination if you know how to control it or send you to hell if you do not know how to control it. Same theory. Nuclear power is sustainable compared to most of the energy production right now. Coal, oil are simply not sustainable. It won't last long. What I meant by long is 100 years? or even 200 years? By using carbon fuels, we are subjected to the fluctuation of international fuel price. That means we gonna pay more when someone jack the price up, but nuclear power is not. Indeed, implementing nuclear power is very costly, but in the long run, it is considered cheap, compared to carbon fuel powered energy production.

nuclear waste are practically harmless and can only be harmfull if exposed for a long long time.

the plant in Chernobyl blew up because at that time the russians cant even differentiate a tractor from a monkey wrentch.

neways, nuclear is the way to go and if you are looking at fusion of hydrogen. wait another 50 yrs as CERN scientist just only cracked the code. but it is currently consuming more energy than it can produce.

Yes, they failed their own reactor when they tried to TEST it out WITHOUT following standard operating parameters. They blew themselves off. There is no accident. It was caused by human error.
