Nuclear power is great, all we need to do is eject the waste into the sun
You know, I was thinking that exact same thing. I mean, where better to put something you need to get rid of than a place where virtually nothing can exist?
Nuclear power is a great source of energy, but it scares people because the media tells them that NUCULER BOMBS ARE BAD LET'S PROTEST AND SING SONGS ABOUT THE GLORY OF FOSSIL FUELS
I watched something that made a good point about things like this. Because of things like nuclear bombs that can blow the shit out of the planet, the word nuclear subconciously starts to mean FUCKING DANGEROUS to a lot of people. Basically, it's just the name that puts most people off. If they can find a way to make a nuclear plant but NEVER mention the word nuclear, not many people would complain (like, say, "Happy Plant" (unless that reminds people too much of marijuana))
