No, old and irrelevant. Each one of these "points" is comprehensively
demolished each time it's put forward. But you're too dim to notice.

Exactly so. 17% of the worlds electricity, and the lowest death rate of
any power generation industry overall.

The facts speak for themselves.

First claimed point "Nuclear is too expensive"

That's an easy one to test:

Electricity prices

Italy - Electricity domestic average 22p/kWh
UK - Electricity domestic average 15.5p/kWh
France - Electricity domestic average 14p/kWH

Nuclear Generation

Italy 0 TWH/pa
UK 62.1 TWH/pa
France 387.8 TWH/pa

Gosh yes, nuclear has really pushed electricity prices up in France,
not.

So the first claim is a lie, that tends to indicate that it's not worth
reading the rest of the ****.

France shows that a 80% nuclear wont break the bank. Finland reckons its
the cheapest alterntaive bar none.

Areva reactors are overpriced at the moment, but they are not the only
game in town.

But even at worst case prices the Areva reactor still knocks wind/solar+
backup into the tall grass.
Cheapest generation is coal.,Cheapest zero carbon is nuclear. Take your

50p/unit for electricity vote for "renewables".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear..._and_economics

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear...Nuclear_safety


As ever links posted without comment, presumably to try to give the
impression that there is a nuclear safety and an economic problem with
nuclear. Using the source that it is created and edited by morons.

The first link says nothing bad about the economics of nuclear power in
France, so quite what you think is damning about it is a mystery.

The second link tries to cast FUD on nuclear but the truth is that
French nuclear incidents are notable by their absence. The ASN is simply
being hyper-cautious.

You might want to address the fact that coal fired power stations have
emitted more radioactive material than all of the nuclear power stations
in the world and all of the A-bomb tests in the world combined. But I
bet you won't.

I also bet you won't dare to comment on how much fossil fuel is used to
create photovoltaic panels.

In further confirmation that the so-called greens are lying ****bags the
"Alexis Rowell" article that you linked to was published in the
self-interest magazine that he edits, yet it is described as a "guest
publication". A bit of honesty would have helped, don't you think[1].

government calculated cost price of nuclear was 6-8p a unit.

IF you don't shut it down tax it out of existence, make owners sign in

less radioactive than the inside of an empty lead box after you have

sigh. No the problem of nuclera waste isn't solved because it's
difficult to make irrational people understand things: you being a prime
example.
There is of course no PHYSICAL problem with nuclear waste.

Its a bit like the Devil. No matter how much you say 'I dont actually
see him anywhere' someone will claim that he comes in and posseses them
on a daily basis...

We haven't solved the problem of the mentally challenged.

Probaly the best thing to do is sit all teh harrys of the world in a big
holiday camp bbu8ilt on top of a radioactive waste dump,. equipped with
geiger counters and tell them they are 'health meters' .
And the higher they are the more bacteria they are getting rid opf.

They would believe it. They believe anything.

We seem to be rushing headlong into total dependance on gas. We need
coal to bridge the gap between now and when we get new nuke plants
built. Time for Harry's friends to get all their objections in.

cold fusion wouldn't generate enough heat to be useful anyway :-)

its well known that many solutions exist. What there isn't a solution

No harry, it was solved 20 years ago and the solution has been in use
(in the UK) these 20 years. As I posted back in late Jan / early Feb. Do

I rather doubt there is any solution to the problem of people, like you,

As for nuclear waste, we have had the technology to recycle 95% of it,
including all the high level waste, for more than half a century. It
just happens to be cheaper to store it safely instead.

As we would have if the plant had not been privatised. Essentially that
is a story about a government project that is over time and over budget,
which is hardly unusual.

And this is a tiny fraction of what's to come.


This is the result of Britain wanting to have nuclear weapons and
building the facilities to provide the fuel without any regard for
anything, bar meeting the deadline for demonstrating that they could
build an H-bomb.

It is in no way an indicator of what will happen in future with nuclear
power. All the clean up costs are included in the calculations for that
and are a major reason that nuclear power comes out at around the same
cost as coal power, although still half the cost of onshore wind and one
third the cost of offshore wind.

As I said, the only problem about nuclear waste is people like you who
think there is a problem.
