RE: Why Aren't We Using More Nuclear Power?

in #steemstem7 years ago

The fact that it produces waste which is active for 100s of years I think says more than enough to why we should be cautious with this technology. Also If it is used more, the likelyhood of missmanagement increases and with that the risk of accidents. I live roughly 40 kilometers away from a plant that is in the news regularly because of technical failures. Not something I fancy to be honest. There are many alternatives that we should explore more. I think more effort needs to be made in improving nuclear power technology before going all-in.

I don't agree, but this is a well thought out and composed comment, so I'll upvote it.

Yeah, I guess there will be a lot of disagreement in the comment section of this article :)

Good thing is that people on this platform are very polite! Thanks!

Most of 'em, anyway.
