Global Warming Skeptics

No question pollution can have huge impacts on aquatic habitat. Here in the US we have it largely managed, but not in other countries. One more reason why I support aggressive switchover to nuclear power.

I'm scared of anything with the word 'nuclear' in it. I'm a child of the 80's, not so much duck and cover, but we were still afraid of the Russians.


Should nuclear power plants be private or federally operated? As a nationalized industry up here,their not so efficient.

Nuclear Plants should be Federally Operated IMO. If they were private they would be to worried about making buck and saving money rather then making upgrades and repairs etc.

How many people have died in nuclear accidents in North America or Europe? Compare that to the deaths caused by oil. It is a very safe technolgy, and very clean. http://www.physics.isu.edu/radinf/np-risk.htm

Heck no the government shouldn't be running the plants.

Government operated Nuclear Plants are not immune to mismanagement, cut backs etc. Gov run plants would also have no incentive to operate efficiently, they'll get paid no matter how good or bad they perform.

I thought enron wasn't involved in nuclear power plants?

I know, but I just think they would be run better then private, even if it is only a little better.

How are yours performing?

I know ours were way over budget with respect to construction and at times only operating at low capacities due to shut downs for repairs in plants that were less than 20 yrs old.

Honestly, I can't answer that question because I dont know. This isn't something I follow at all.

Shock of shocks, we do have a privately owned Nulear Plant, right under me own nose.

Come on, think man. Thread derailed by discussion of who should and shouldn't operate nuclear facilties (by moi no less). Look at the link? Research?

I am looking at it. I really think the Government would do better then a private company though.
