Nuclear Power the way forward?
It is interesting to see the spread of votes in our last poll. The poll asked “Do you think nuclear power is the solution?”
The overall spread of votes was in favour of nuclear power with 39% believing it is inevitable. A third of those who answered believe that it should be avoided at all costs!
Its a real thinker this one as personally I don’t see an alternative. Renewable power just doesn’t seem ready to step up to the plate and be counted. Maybe with advances in technology and the ability to harness new power sources might see a brighter picture.
I think the comment from Mark Howard sums it up.. “We live in a culture terrified of our own mortality, nuclear would be a drop in the ocean in comparison to the looming threat of intensive global heating, the death of much ocean life, the melting of the ice caps and resulting sea level rise..”
