How will the disaster from the Fukushima nuclear power station influence global warming and climate change?
Should we get rid of the nuclear industries altogether as they are too dangerous for so little return
Why is that people still support nuclear power even though they know its too costly and poses so much risk to human health
What is the rationale there
It's absolutely mind boggling to see some of the responses here, I mean it truly is.
How the heck could radiation be safe to anybody let alone any living organism.
Radiation is a silent and invisible killer and one that many scientists have studied and warned about.
Can't people fathom that radiation coming off of these nuke plants mutates cells and cause cancer even through minute exposure to low level radiation.
Once radiation is inhaled and embeds in organic tissue of the lungs, its akin to lighting a match and holding it close to the body which will eventually burn the flesh but in regards to radiation the light from the match never goes out.
As we speak the failure to contain the radiation leak is exposing the whole of the northern hemisphere to this dangerous radiation not to mention the sea being contaminated with it which will end up in our food chain.
What is it about the dangerous radiation people just don't get

In 1972 Dr Abram Petkau discovered that low levels of radiation, over a longer period of time, were more damaging than higher doses over a short period of time.
Once you ingest or inhale even very low levels of radioactive particles the Petkau Effect immediately starts potentially lethal tissue ionization.
The phenomenon of the Petkau Effect basically means that you are ionizing or irradiating yourself continuously from the inside out.
This insidious burning at your molecular level will impair your body long before there is a diagnosable disease.
* Cesium 137 accumulates in fatty tissues, liver, spleen and muscles
* Iodide-131 accumulates in Thyroid, breast and ovaries
* Strontium-90 concentrates in your bones and liver
* Barium-140 causes bone tumors up to 30 years later
* Tellurium-132 causes cell mutations, repeatedly via replication
* Yttrium-0 damage to liver and respiration
* Putonium-244 concentrates in your liver
* Uranium 235 accumulates in your bones and liver

Jyushchyn you said
'Your attempts to use fear to get us to fill the atmosphere with the smoke from coal plants totally disregards the simple fact that harmful substances need to be at a certain dose before they could harm you'.
Geeze, seriously where did this come from
I have never written anywhere supporting coal fired power stations although I have written against it before
So where on earth have you come up with this idea Jyushchyn that I support coal produced power.
As usual since you don't know what the other people's position are you will likely to make the same error as every other person
But anyway what matters is that we must dismantle all nuclear power stations because they are dangerous to health bar none
We must replace it with energy devices that draw free energy from the quantum vacuums of space so that all conventional forms of energy derivation that is based on hydrocarbons is forever eliminated.

Man you are severely underestimating the dangers of nuclear power and the radiation that results from them
Do you know why we have the highest cancer rate than ever before.
Yes its the waste radiation contaminating the air, soil, water, foods and just about everything else on earth produced from the fission process and the irresponsible dumping of waste from it.
Yet there is no reason for us to support nuclear power not now and not ever
All nuclear power stations must be dismantled immediately with no exception whatsoever
