No, what we need is to replace and add to the existing fleet of nukes..

exactly.

It fits every single real requirement.
- low carbon
- cheap
- dispatchable (up to a surprising degree)
- fuel is easily stockpiled and comes from 'friendly' places.
- needs no massive grid upgrades
- compact and very low environmental impact.
- ultra low pollution.

And its the easiest way to mass produce hydrogen to power vehicles.

No one in their right minds wants to do that.

Could make synthetic diesel though.



You can superheat the water which lowers the energy needed to split it
into its elements.

Only the utter panic in peoples minds is the barrier.- Hide quoted text -

But nobody knows what to do with the nuclear waste.

So until a solution is found, you have been spouting crap.

There is not even a solution ont he horizon for some stuff that has to
be stored for 30,000 to 1,000,000 years. How much does it cost to
"manage" waste for 1,000,000 years?

So the pro-nuclear lobby are halfwits. They only offer half a
solution, moronically sweeping the real problem under the carpet.
If the permanent solution is unknown, so then is it's cost, not to
mention the unknown hazards of many thousands of years of storage.

Worse then the bankers when you think. The bankers have only stolen
your children's money. Nuclear lobby wants to steal their lives and
money.

Then of course you canadd to all this the cost ofdecommissioning old
nuclear power stations.

I remember when Calder Hall was opened we were told that in future
electricity would be virtually free. They lied then and they lie now.

So TurNiP is spouting drivel as usual. Apart from the dangers, it's
costing billions£/year to clear up one nuclear site,and will continue
to do so for many years to come.

Who knows how many people have had their lives shortened by nuclear
pollution of the Irish and North seas. And if it was known it would
be hidden from us.
