in comparison to wind and solar nuclear power
- is more centralized
- is a better target for terrorists
- favors monopolies
- uses fuel which could be used to build bombs? Just speculating, but I guess nobody will be happy if some of that stuff gets into wrong hands.
- produces waste which we need to keep in mind for thousends of years
- has serious PR issues ( is less accepted by society )
- realusername 7y ago> - is more centralized Any form of energy production with decent prices is centralized, that also includes wind and solar. Solar panels on rooftops has to be the most inefficient way of producing electricity right now.
- sjwright 7y ago> uses fuel which could be used to build bombs? If we banned every technology because which has a potential for destructive misuse, we'd have no technology. Sticks would be banned because you could rub them together to make fire and burn down the village.
- perfunctory 7y agoNuclear technology IS banned for most countries. If one advocates nuclear technology as a solution to climate change they should accept the right of other countries to have that technology too, e.g. Iran
- NikkiA 7y agoActually, it's not, the NPT Article IV explicitly grants access to nuclear power technology for any country that is willing to rescind any interest in nuclear weapons. Most countries signed it.
- htek 7y agoIran signed it. Why can't Iran produce safe, clean, rainbow creating nuclear power technology?
- whamlastxmas 7y agoNuclear power plants are awful terrorist targets. They're designed to withstand planes crashing into them. There's high security everywhere. There are many easier targets for terrorism
