Bush and Nuclear Power
Bush calls for increased use of nuclear power:
"Our plan is to increase the use of safer and cleaner nuclear energy," said Bush, who a few weeks ago called for a reduction in oil dependence. The development and use of new technologies for solar and wind energy are also to be intensified.
But the fact that the raw material uranium is also limited, meaning that it is not a real alternative to oil at all, and that the issue of the final disposal of nuclear waste is not solved at all in the case of nuclear power, all this does not interest him at all.
The patent solution of the complete idiots - instead of relying on oil as a slowly depleting raw material, one chooses another depleting raw material that is much more dangerous and dirtier. Great strategy.
Of course, he also doesn't care that he just had his crisis with Iran because the nuclear program there may not be used solely for power generation. And that in the USA, for good reasons (costs and dangers), nuclear power has not been actively promoted and expanded since the 70s.
The actually more obvious vision for the future - the increased use of renewable energy sources - is once again completely ignored. It would be too simple if one were to address the problem of non-renewable energy sources, namely the non-renewability ...
