NNS bright but you can never be as bright as you think you are
See we know
That Australia compared to other countrys by mass volume we deposit, are a minor contributor to Global Warming
We know too, by head of population, we put much much more into the air than others
Now, please consider, we understand if we STOPPED EVERY BIT OF OUR EMISSIONS it would be a blimp on the world's carbon capture system
And yes we know such as the massive fraud in the denyers bag, the above figures are a tool used to? rebutte truth
Again that we know, by setting an example we could, go Nuclear. safe well constructed latest safest Nuclear and? lead the world it this matter
However my regards I like reading your stuff

Dear Max Green,

Of course all this talk and action being undertaken worldwide to replace fossil fuels with energy sources that do not produce greenhouse gases has left the denialists like Hasbeen, ttbn, individual, Loudmouth, mhaze, etc. saying 'Derrr ....... What is this all about? Derrr ....... Why are they doing this? Derrr ....... My $1 brain hurts.'

Not So Soon,
I'm not sure what the point of your rant is, other than to just... rant? And maybe show how ignorant you are?

YES, as Belly said, we know our total contributions are small compared to other nations. Yet at the same time, very high on a per capita basis. We DO have an international obligation and moral duty to solve our own emissions.

YES, there are solutions on the way, and it sounds like you've even misunderstood them. Breeder reactors like the Molten Chloride Salt FAST Reactor do not "eat up nuclear waste for a small amount of energy." They eat it up to return 60 TIMES the energy we got out of the once-through fuel model of the Light Water Reactor. 60 times more energy! Now think about that for a minute. Think about the EROEI, the Energy Returned on Energy Invested! That's how much ENERGY profit an energy source gives you. A good solar farm in the right place might give you an energy profit of 30:1, where you're getting 30 times the energy back that you invested in making the thing. A Light Water Reactor might give you 40 to 60 times the energy profit, but that is at least reliable and can give you all the heating you need on the quietest, darkest, snowiest winter night. (In snowy countries, reliable power saves lives!) The Light Water Reactor energy profit shows you how amazing E = MC2 really is, because there is a CONSIDERABLE amount of energy used up in the mining and refining of uranium. So much diesel! Yet it still gives us an EROEI of up to 60! That's amazing!

...continued...

Breeder reactors will get something like 60 times the energy out of each bit of uranium! If a Light Water Reactor has an EROEI of 40 to 60, then a breeder reactor will have an EROEI multiplied by 60 into the thousands! Thousands of times the energy profit of the energy it took to build the thing! That's enough ENERGY PROFIT to not only easily replace all the electricity in the world, but to have some energy left over to manufacture all the liquid fuels we need as well. We can crack seawater into jet fuel and diesel! We can charge all the electric cars we want. We can have all the power we need to mine and smelt and refine all the metals we could ever need. We can desalinate all the water we need. We can extract fresh medical isotopes for radioactive contrast dies used in diagnostic procedures in hospitals. We can burn through the longer-lived radioactive actinides in nuclear waste and smash them down to the highly radioactive broken atoms we call fission products, the real nuclear waste. Finally, we can have more than enough energy profit to vitrify those fission products into ceramic blocks we deposit under the reactor for just 300 years and then they're safe. It's a golf ball per person-lifetime. Nothing to worry about. THAT's the solution, and it will save tens of thousands of Australian lives each year by ending coal pollution.

Any questions?

Dear Max Green,

I have a question: How do you expect the $1 brain denialists to understand all of this? You need to simplify things to the level of a ten year-old otherwise they just won't get it.

Ha ha ha, OK, the SIMPLER VERSION!~

Breeder reactors that eat nuclear waste are almost as good as fusion is meant to be, but here now.

We can rebuild our energy systems. We have the technology. We can have ALL the energy we need, when we need it, all the time, really cheap!

CHEAPER THAN COAL because it doesn't come with coal's terrible health bill! Coal is so bad that you basically take your annual energy bill and then double it. Why double it? That's what coal costs us in our health bill. You're paying for fossil fuels twice, once in your electricity and petrol bills, and again in your public health taxes for the sickness they give people. And that's BEFORE we measure the impacts of the (very real) climate change!

BREEDER REACTORS FIX THE NUCLEAR WASTE PROBLEM, HAVE SAFETY SYSTEMS HOMER SIMPSON COULDN'T BREAK BECAUSE THEY'RE BASED ON PHYSICS, NOT TECHNICIANS BEING SMART, AND ARE REALLY REALLY GOOD.

ALL THE ENERGY WE WANT, WHEN WE WANT IT, AT A PRICE WE WANT.

VOTE NUCLEAR POWER! WRITE TO YOUR MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT AND TELL THEM YOU WANT BREEDER REACTORS NOW!
