    Solar, eolic and hydro powers are the way to go. There's no point in solving the global warming if we devastate the planet with more nuclear disasters like Chernobyl or Fukushima, I think we can agree on that.

    2 major disasters in 30 years, is hardly a bad record.

    I can only be glad Croatia is nowhere near Japan. When Chernobly happened, radioactive cloud even came here, Bosnia was spared.

    For once I agree with you. Both where do to human mistakes. Chernobyl was the result of a stupid experiment, and Fukushima, was the result of a bad facility design.
  3. I'm considering taking a break from college. Its burning me the fuck out.

    So then hopefully people have learned from that.

    Honestly, if you make a nuclear facility in the right location in a quality first world country (not a state of the old USSR) I don't see anything going wrong. Especially after what we've learned from Chernobyl, Fukushima and Three Mile Island.

    If you put one out in the middle of Australia, where there is nothing, and no natural disasters, it would be hard for something to go wrong. Plenty of countries have nuclear power and have used it for years with no consequences.

    Funny that we should be talking about this..

    I agree with you, but, I repeat, we're humans. We're very slow at learning. Following your logic there would be no more wars because we would get that they don't bring us any good. And wars today are as bloody as they ever were.

    I think war and nuclear power are two completely different things, but ok?

    Netanyahu launches "Real face of Iran" Twitter campaign against Khamenei

    Yeah, I know that politics is forbidden on this topic, but this is so fucked up on so many levels that I just had to post it. It scares me that people like this live on the face of earth. Not just people that threaten to whole nations, but also people that beat up other people on the street, because, well, they can. Burt even more, it saddens me. Netanyahu should be at home with his wife and grandchildren and enjoy life, not call for more blood.

  8. Hm, seems like you didn't get me. I bet that people were saying after Chernobyl that this will never happen again because we learned something. And then it happened, in Japan, in one of the most advanced countries in the world. And it's way way WAY worse than Chernobyl. We don't learn and we tend to repeat mistakes.

    Weapons may be more deadly, but war overall is fought on a much smaller scale. Insurgencies, and proxy wars are on the trend. The last really large war was WW2, and WMDs have made that happening again unlikely.

    Israel, and Iran have been enemies since before either of us where born, and this is the thing that pisses you off? Come on, you're trying to hard.

    Different mistakes. Chernobyl (and 3mile island for that matter), where operating mistakes. Fukushima, was mostly a construction mistake. Design was underrated for the earthquake threat in the area, and the seawall was to low.

    Yeah exactly. So we've learned from the operating mistakes, now we've learned from design and construction mistakes.

    Seems like we're ready to roll it out big time now.

    (for the record, I am completely 100% for nuclear power)
