Oil disaster now, nuclear later?

BP oil spill live feed & oil spill update: people express frustration as Top kill fails Chronicle.com, May, 2010 “…Top Kill has failed to work and BP bosses have no idea as to why it failed. ….. Meanwhile people have started shooting off tough question in the eye of increasing oil leak problem. A disgruntled reader says, “They can’t control OIL. How will they control NUCLEAR ? These are the same energy billionaires that own nuclear power plants / giant CANCER machines. How will they control invisible highly radioactive cancer causing nuclear radiation when a nuclear power plant melts down ? AND DONT !! try to tell us accidents “never happen” You make your billions from us while you destroy us. And Obama just approved 54 billion in loan guarantee’s to build more nuclear power plants ! Why should we pay for the billionaires to build more cancer machines ? And we pay their insurance. Because they are uninsurable the government (with our money)” BP oil spill live feed & oil spill update: people express frustration as Top kill fails : ndChronicle.com

  1. Better switch to liquid fluoride thorium reactors. no mining needed. Thorium is byproduct to rare earth mines which are needed for wind turbines. No enrichment needed. Little waste to store. Only need 500 years of storage time.

  2. Just the bare 500 years of dangerous radioactive wastes? With, one would expect, concurrent 500 years of expensive security?
    Liquid thorium reactors might have some advantages over uranium-fueled ones, but still need uranium 233 to start them. They still involve radioactive and other wastes at both the mining end and the reactor end.
    The current big push for thorium reactors is just another ploy by the industry to “greenwash” us all into allowing the dying, uneconomic nuclear industry to hang on a bit longer, – waiting for this hyped new miracle of thorium reactors.

    I don’t think that spin is going to work!
