The nuclear debate is going to be one of the big debates of this year, now the election's over (don't want to discuss important things when people are thinking about voting, eh!).
For:
Uranium is currently not running out (though it will be eventually);
Production of electricity itself by nuclear produces little greenhouse gas, though when you take into account the mining, transport, etc. of uranium, it is not CO2-free (but still less than fossil fuels at the moment);
Doesn't inconveniently not produce electricity when the sun doesn't sun or the wind doesn't blow.
Against:
Uranium is a finite resource, and what do we do when that runs out?
Dealing with the waste has not been sorted out, and is very costly (I believe that the current projected UK bill is 48 billion);
Nuclear weaposn;
Terrorism;
Leaks.
Personally, I don't think that it's the way to go, but I think it probably will be the route which we take.
Peter. |
