This link details the most common hazardous nuclear waste products in the U.S. All over the world there are millions of tonnes of this stuff and no long term commitments whatsoever to dealing with the problem.

Just to prove i'm not the only loony out there who believes this here's a Greenpeace link on Nuclear waste .

What was the best anti-nuclear movie ever made?  Which anti-nuclear movie was the worst ever made?

For the first I nominate "Doctor Strangelove."

Fort the second I nominate "Superman IV:  the Quest for Peace."

I have little respect for Green peace, they are a roadkill machine like no other.

You can not believe the words of the extremists on either side.

You got any other link?

Will the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists do? That's about a s academically respectable as it gets.

Or the Union of Concerned Scientists, they might sound a bit wet to you, but they're heavy hitters, check out the array of links down the right hand side of this page.

Or, not specific to nuclear waste but still the scariest thing you could ever read, the World scientists warning to humanity. Ten years old and still completely ignored. Yes, those are real Nobel laureates.

"China Syndrome" was a very good movie.

Is there any calculations how many windmills or square miles of solar-cells would it take to replace one nuclear reactor ?

btw somewhere were a story that British Petroleum made a study and their opinion was that there are oil for the next 40 years.
Some of us may be able to see what happens after that.
What are your kids using in their cars then: Electricity or alcohol?


btw Dr.Strangelove is a classic, Peter Sellers is amazing in all of his roles and no'one can't beat "Kong" as a pilot :D

Staga- that 40 year estimate I believe was from a long time ago... they have recently (past 10-15 years) found more oil reserves and supposedly a couple of them are much bigger than the one's in the Mid-East.

I forget where they are tho..
