*sigh* the old inefficiency argument again... Ok, so wind farms are less efficient than nuclear. What about wind, solar, and tidal combined? All 3 of those are still a lot safer than nuclear. And it takes fuel to build anything... including nuclear power plants... Furthermore, nuclear power plants are designed to last a specific amount of time, usually about 25/30 years, due to safety. Their not permanent solutions to our energy problems and never will be. Also, both of you have ignored the whole nuclear waste problem, which is already a pressing matter as it is
Well, that might possibly be because it's inefficient? Given what's happened in Japan, all I really have to say is...nature is fucking unpredictable. Hence inefficiency...and generally being fucked over on a regular basis. Nuclear waste is nuclear waste. I have no solution to offer, but I know a wind farm won't fix the waste we currently have.
Furthermore, while nuclear power plants are expected to take about 30 days of being offline per year (so about a month a year) for maintenance and whatnot, wind power can remain operational at a 98% consistency - now which one is inefficient?
*facepalm* well building more nuclear power plants like we are right now is going to create more nuclear waste than we already have, while wind, solar, etc, won't! Also, if there was a tidal generator instead of a nuclear generator in Japan right now, surely a destroyed tidal generator is going to cause less damage than a destroyed nuclear generator?
Still windpower. You're under estimating exactly how much power nuclear stations provide. The idea is to have it so there's no brakes in energy providings (said it phone jacker accent) as another station takes over. Nuclear power is our most reliable form of providing mass amounts of energy at the moment until we come up with a cleaner way. Preferable fusion power.
Thats the thing, its a temporary solution with extremely permanent consequences - yes, it produces massive amounts of energy but the waste that it produces is also massive and will last a lot longer than us or our children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's and so on and so forth. All for a temporary stop-gap while we look for better alternatives that could quite easily already exist today?
it's just too cute! XD I dare any of you to find something cuter *Secretly hopes someone finds something even cuter*
Really? I'd say its just another regular day for the good ol' mancfags edit: also, other than the wierdness one, I started all the trends... my influence grows! Muahahahhaha
I have to say, that was nice to listen to while doing a stupid report that I've left until the last minute.
What's hilarious is that OSA (including Graeme Wilson, Stefania Cisco and Janet Laveau) have to scrutinise each and every one of these posts. So, the more you post, the more work you create for them.
Please don't forget our dear artiste Ted Stourton and his magnificent musical mate Mappin I so wish I could acquire an original of this finery. My life would be near complete, hugs or none.
Yes. My last good ping-pong ball fell down into a narrow metal pipe imbedded in concrete one foot deep. How can I get it out undamaged, if all the tools I have are your tennis paddles, shoe-laces, and a plastic water bottle, which does not fit into the pipe?
i prefered you all when you were talking about hugs not argueing about conditions in Japan (fucked, we get it)
Fill bottle, pour into pipe, repeat until ball floats up and out. BTW, why do you have my tennis paddles, whatever those are?
Wow. As much as I'd rather be entertained by skinnies' unfounded conspiracy crazy talk than the huggotry, that is some crazy stuff. As for nuclear energy debate, I'm in two minds. It's by far the most efficient production method, but I'd not want one in my back yard. Plus if there's any place which would be bombarded to hell in a war... Nuclear energy plants in the middle of nowhere I can just about get behind. Nuclear waste is a problem, but they're that hopeful of finding methods to reduce its half life that they are burying all new nuclear waste in a way that it would be retrievable in the next 100 years. Why blast it into the sun, anyway? Just blast it into space! @Fuckeye, just get the Japanese government to generate you an earthquake, you'll get your ping pong ball back in no time.
