Well I don't want to play devils advocate so instead I'll just leave this here
You are doing so, friend. You do what they want, and stand by them. That's the issue here, is that they say Nuclear power is bad, when it's the most power we can get, safer then coal, and better for the enviroment then solar power.
The joke's on them. Let's tear those "facts" a new one, eh?
If a meltdown were to occur, the accident could kill and injure tens of thousands of people, leaving large regions uninhabitable.> Totally untrue. Seriously, we all know this now, Even Chernoble wasn't that bad.
And, more than 50 years after splitting the first atom, science has yet to devise a method for adequately handling long lived radioactive wastes.> Utter bullshit. The answer is so obvious one has to bury your head in bullshit to not see it.
Shove in in a hole in the ground, in storage drums, and make sure there is a foot of concrete between it and everything else. BOOM, totally safe! Oh sorry, not boom, you guys hate that word when anything nuclear is involved, I forgot. BOOM, TOTALLY SAFE!
For years nuclear plants have been leaking radioactive waste from underground pipes and radioactive waste pools into the ground water at sites across the nation.>
[citation needed!] Oh wait, no, sorry, not true at all, anyway. Uh, CSB?
In addition to being extremely dangerous, the continued greenwashing of nuclear power from industry-backed lobbyists diverts investments away from clean, renewable sources of energy. In contrast to nuclear power, renewable energy is both clean and safe. Technically accessible renewable energy sources are capable of producing six times more energy than current global demand. >I love that line, "technically accessible". Clean and Safe! Discounting all the toxic waste from producing photovoltaic panels and all the rainforests cut down and burnt for the Coke needed, solar panels are the best! Until they break and we have to do it all again, and they can break from not getting sunlight.
In order to save the future of our planet, we must continue to fight the expansion of nuclear power and instead push for clean, renewable sources of energy. Over the next three years Greenpeace will continue to:
1. Debunk the myth that nuclear provides a “green” source of electricity and detail the threats posed by nuclear reactors and the radioactive wastes they produce. >IE Not much at all, and waste that lasts longer then the universe will is hardly an issue if you just get it away from people, and short lived waste can even be used to make steam in a pinch, aka generate power.
2. Expose the abysmal economics of new nuclear power. >As opposed to the abysmal economics of new green power, eh?
