The real reason some people hate nuclear energy : Comments

By Martin Nicholson, published 14/2/2014

Using the risk perception factors above, environmental advocates are able to dramatize the risks: 'if it scares, it airs'.

I believe that the MAIN reason our society in general does not discuss (and is even a taboo subject, like nationalism or Aus culture) Nuclear Energy possibilities rests in the utter insanity of the LEFT mindset.

It is not, as most think, because people "fear risks" like Chernobyl, that is not even the reason the average "Lefty" supports the anti-open policy on the topic. Like everything with the Left and their motives, they act in herd-form, group-think and tribalistic, bullying mentality and simply follow the others and what is already being done or not done.

That is to say, they simply ARE against the topic being considered. The numerous reasons they use to support themselves like the Chernobyl risks etc. are absolutely pathetic when one actually considers the dangers and real possibilities as well as the actual benefits of one day finding a safer nuclear way which CANNOT occur in such a culture of "taboo" surrounding the issue.

Despicable MOB, HERD, bigots!

The left have invaded even our learning institutions such that the average university in Australia (especially in ARTS) feels like being in some middle-ages church run by the Nazi intelligence for propaganda.

Young people are drilled and brainwashed into thinking that the left's entire agenda and views are JUST CORRECT (absolute TRUTH) like some religion. The slightest hint of rebellious words can be career ending, but at least will eternally brand you in ALL eyes to be some stupid, right-wing bigot who hates non-white people and poor people, and who fears difference and change.

This intellectual poisonous disease is the culprit behind the taboo on Nuclear power talk

Plantagenet,

do u think u could perhaps, as a world-wide exclusive, the very first time in history for a Leftist, "EXPLAIN" and argue some of your reasons for why you must disagree with my arguments!

Please make the attempt at least!

I will even invite the Guinness Book of Records to document the event.

We could build more dams, but then the Greens would yell bloody murder at the loss of habitat and diversity. They want to shut down coal because of pollution and emissions, and then they block their ears when it comes to nuclear. So they put forward three alternatives - wind, wave, and solar. The rest are just pie-in-the-sky sci-fi energy alternatives hundreds of years away from becoming viable.

Trouble is you could cover the landscape with bird-killing, eyesore wind turbines and still not meet base-load power. You could cover every roof in Australia with solar panels (and indirectly be responsible for massive soil and water pollution in China from their manufacture) and still not meet base-load power. You could clutter up the sea and add to even more visual pollution (not to mention likely interfere with migratory routes of sea creatures like whales) with wave-power generators, and still not meet base-load power. You could combine all three expensive systems and yet still be subject to grey-outs due to times when the wind doesn't blow, or when the sky is overcast vastly reducing the efficiency of solar.

So do you ever wonder why the Greens and Progressives push for unrealistic, unreasonable, irrational and immature forms of energy? The answer is simple - the Greens/Progressives don't want society to flourish, they don't want society to enjoy cheap power, they don’t want society to become affluent - because a subdued, cowed, weakened and poor society is a society better able to be controlled by the State - by Big Government. This whole issue was never about the environment - it is entirely about controlling populations, because access to cheap energy would liberate humanity, and liberty is something that totalitarians abhore.

p.s. Just another thought to muse upon - why do you think the Greens/Progressives came up with the Carbon Tax. At its heart it was to make coal-fired energy (and everything that relied upon it) more expensive. Expensive power = impoverished society = society that is less free. Remember that when you next open your carbon-tax enhanced electricity bill...

Pebble reactors would preclude the possibility of yet another meltdown!
However, I prefer cheaper than coal thorium, which uses consumes most of its fuel and produces very little waste, which has a useful life as very long life batteries, in satellites and such.
The real reason some people hate nuclear energy, I believe, is for the very same reason they hate hydro dams, even where the wall is little more than a harmless two metre weir. Namely, because it allows industrialization, commercial development, food production and population growth to continue apace.
I remember one well known activist saying, that he would sooner allow a coal fired power station than dam the Franklin. (Pure unbridled hypocrisy!?)
Perhaps if we had dammed the Franklin, we might have been able to exploit the virtually free and ultra reliable energy, to retain a vehicle building industry in this country.
