This article is almost exact copy of Thomas Freidman’s work in The Lexus and The Olive Tree. So Peter Smith…read this book lately haha
Okay lets start by taking a look at the big picture here. Building 100 nuclear power plants is obviously not the answer. That being said more of these plant need to be built. Nuclear power plants are expensive and time consuming to build but in the long run will lead to lower energy costs. This is so obvious. First of all Uranium can be made, using nuclear chemistry one can shoot neutrons to mine different uranium isotopes to get the preferred uranium type. Now solar power has yet to actually become viable source for power. The thing about solar energy is that it takes more power to build and maintain them than they actually save. Now Coal and Power plants are still cheaper right now than nuclear but lets remember that these are non-renewable resources that will run out and based on supply and demand their prices will only get higher. Not to mention tax pentalies that will be put on this energy because of its carbon footprint. So right Now build 20 nuclear plants to help phase out coal and natural gas because it will be at least another generation before we see any real power coming from solar or wind
This process requires a huge amount of energy…It is only viable in areas like Saudi Arabia which has a desperate need for freshwater and has cheap unlimited fuel source (oil).
lot of talk in this article and saying “there is proof” y not put a link instead of making statements with no backing…its not an argument if you don’t have any evidence
