I think Mr Gates refuses to learn from history..
DO you know why originally Nuclear power was pushed as a safe energy source?
To make nuclear weapons, they needed a guaranteed supply of
raw fuel material. All nuclear plants with the exception of
some recent designs which get further away from this produce
nuclear material that is ideal to use in nuclear weapons.
It had very little due with any actual safety concerns.
It is one of the most extreme hazards forced on the world by the industrial-military complexes of all nations.
Lets stop calling it safe and call it what it is in reality..in fact a experimental way to generate energy
that is somewhat dangerous.
- elithrar 15y agoThat's not a fair statement — branding all nuclear energy technology as a means to generate material for weapons is incorrect. A good example? Thorium reactors [1], which generate very little in the way of weapons-grade by products. Why is it we cannot get our governments to allow research & construction into this arm of nuclear power?
