$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('maverickdoc', '
')Depleted uranium is not the same as Nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is not renewable but that has nothing to do with safety.
It is if its how the corps are getting rid of their nuclear waste. 8000 tons in GulfWar1, 50,000 so far Gulf War 2, are you saying its unrelated?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('maverickdoc', ' ')Nuclear energy is relatively safe.
Nonsense, how can you say that when the US is about to invade Iran on grounds of opposite?
1. There is still no way to permanently stabilise nuclear waste, let alone 'dispose' of it.
2. There is no way to protect nuke reactors from terrorist strike.
3. There is no way to stop reactors being used to create material for weapons of mass destruction.
Pick any point you like, prove me wrong. Else stop pushing nonsense.
I know this thread not on nukes, but oh well..

I can not understand what you are trying to say (post something coherent). Nuclear waste is buried in concrete boxes in the Nevada desert.

US is invading Iran, B/C Iran has oil we want, and we don’t want them to sell oil in euro instead of the dollar.
Safety of nuclear energy has nothing to do with why we don’t want Iran to make nuclear power plants. The stated reason is the administration believes Iran might use the rods to make nuclear weapons.

We are talking about using nuclear plant to generate energy in the US.
Terrorists have never attacked a nuclear plant. So yes there are way to protect nuke reactors from terrorist strike.
If the reactor is in the US, it is highly unlikely reactors will be used to create material for weapons of mass destruction.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('maverick', 'D')OESN'T UNDERSTAND what? DamianB is just ranting nonsense
I'm sorry for shouting. Have you guys watched the Bartlett video?
The consumption of energy
capital is what has created this situation - a population greatly in excess of the carrying capacity of its environment. Seeking out new energy sources so that the status quo is maintained as much as possible, is not the answer. We need to find ways of living with the
flow of energy in this ecosystem. Having access to so much free or excess energy has detached people from what it means to be human.
I think that 'coping' is a period of time between realisation and acceptance.
"If the complexity of our economies is impossible to sustain [with likely future oil supply], our best hope is to start to dismantle them before they collapse." George Monbiot

Offloading depleted uranium in ordanence is a great way to save the cost of disposing as nuclear waste, and this use is rapidly increasing. You really believe thats a safe use of nukes? Or that it doesn't demonstrate a flaw in waste disposal? Are you aware >200 US servicemen from IraqWar2 have already come down with multiple malignancies?

Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. Can you quote an admin official saying that?

Thankyou for repeating my point in different words and pretending its a contradiction.
