....yeah, windmills and solar panels are destroying the natural landscape, but NUCLEAR is the way to go! So clean... So efficient... So "neon" green....

I'd rather have a windmill in my back yard, than a NUCLEAR reactor in the same state!

I have a nuclear reactor in close to my house and it doesn't bother me in the least. I would rather that than a coal fired power plant. Ask the folks in Kingston TN how well that has worked out for them.

Do you have any idea how many windmills it would take to replace a reactor?
Put this in perspective: the output of ONE average size coal mine would need 70 square miles of solar panels to replace the steam energy it can produce.

Well don't ever visit France, then.... Even those puss!es get about 80% of their power from nuclear-and they don't have to spend half their freaking GDP to some freak-ass ragheads to power their country.

-Not bad for a bunch of do-good wussbags.

Everyone complains about high energy prices, but no one wants a reactor or any other type of power plant anywhere near them.
 
Coal Propaganda

there is no/zero/nada/zipo way to burn coal "clean" no matter what some old coal money West Virginian on TV tells you.

C+O2=CO2 (in simple form - see below for expanded form). Every 23g of coal (C) combusted yields 44g of CO2.

It is pure science, if there was a "clean" way to burn coal we (the US) would have figured it out years ago.

Expanded and balanced shows how for every one coal we get almost 2 times the co2, as shown above with the 23 to 44 relationship (2g lost for thermo inefficiencies)

2C10H2 + 2102 --> 2H20 + 20CO2

the small print on "clean coal". when that old coal money WV get on TV and tells you coal is cleaner than ever he/she isn't exactly fibbing but like airline management isn't telling you the whole tale. Yes coal is cleaner than in the past, however this is because of increased effencies in turbine technolgy which convert the combusted coals' steam into energy. This results in more energy output (less mechanical loss) per gram of coal combusted.

It does not however change physical science in the fact that when you combust coal the byproduct is and will always be carbon gas.
