We could wait until we perfect space travel and kick Earth to the proverbial curb. But science says we only have a few decades before man's influence jump-starts natural warming influences we can no longer manage.
No need to feel sorry
It's just some things make up your mind, they grow into you. Of course passed on to you from your parents. It's just what I learned from it. I do admit, I did think like you for quite some time. I then learned more and more details which aren't that prominent, that changed my thinking
I love where this conversation is going. FG thanks for bringin intelligence into this.
just to underline: so so many opportunities for us in the upcoming future. So so many things that keep us from getting there. yet so so many people with such different points of view.
all this makes me want to live on and see what happens. I sure am glad I'm still young
by the way. If GP's points werent so political and less rude, he might have fit into this perfectly with his arguments.

Well, yes this is a problem. In my opinion it stems from the lack of safety measures; something that should go hand in hand with nuclear power. I feel once designers really take safety into account and change their perspective on design, insurance companies will jump on board. But this is a very large step in nuclear power, possibly requiring a new fuel like Helium-3.
I do agree that this problem, and its cause, are not acceptable.
The US department of energy contracted Bechtel for a new nuclear reactor to be used on the new super carriers.
And Westinghouse has already started construction of four of the new ap1000 reactors in China and 14 in US.
This is not an argument to support nuclear power, I'm just saying..
Yeah but with better design in the future I think this goes away. I see that as a problem with "primitive" design surrounded by environmentalists fearing river contamination. They have a valid point too. I'm not too happy with nuclear power at it's current level, but I feel it has a lot of potential once developed to acceptable standards.
What does the cold do to the reactors? Freeze the river?
Very wasteful indeed. Though another problem that I feel will disappear with added development. Especially with the use of Helium-3 and its virtually zero spent fuel. Until then, this does pose a economical and safety concern. Safety in terms of accidents/disasters or terrorist activity.
A respectable collection of points alkalien. My responses are just that, responses and thoughts. I'm going to go think and reflect on this discussion and let it soak in.

keep letting your intelligence shine.
from your own words you supply fruit or produce to Wal-Mart, correct?
do you receive any Subsadizes to help you survive b/c Wal-Mart likes buying really cheap?
At last those subsidies delivery a more affordable energy cost to the consumer. Oil subsidies go toward bottom-line profit because big oil would still be profitable paying the taxes they don't have to.
Less subsidies, big oil wouldn't have received breaks from digging dry holes in the ground.
The funny thing is you're subsidizing your argument that tax breaks aren't tax breaks to big oil but they are to alternatives.
You're thinking with your head in the political toilet. No wonder your ideas are like swirlies that never flush.
We don't subsidize oil. Do some research.
It's like ringing the bell! once rung, it cannot be un-rung.
So our lair in chief obama says so, greenies pick up on the bullshit via msnbc and believe it.
Pathetic. Do your own research and thinking on the subject and quit allowing people to plant bullshit falsities in your head.
There are NO oil subsidies. obama only says there are knowing a vast ocean of idiots will believe that shit and cry for justice against oil companies.
Oh bro where are you getting your info lol
oh yes they do subsides the oil and electric companies LOL..
profitable businesses on the planet. They do not need subsidies to survive.
The United States government provides over $40 billion in subsidies, in the form of direct funding and tax credits, to oil companies. This is money that is designed to make it easier for those companies to provide cheap fuel to the people of the United States, something they are basically failing to do. Prices remain high, even as the companies in question ask for more subsidies and continue to rake in record profits.
FORTY. BILLION. DOLLARS.
Only 38 countries in the world have government budgets larger than $40 billion. Argentina, one of the wealthier countries in the developing world, with a population of 40.7 million people, does not spend that much on running its entire government. In fact, there are 192 nations that spend less on running their country than the United States does in free giveaways to the most profitable companies in the world.
peace out Headband707
Our country suffers due to this sheer ignorance, and our government depends on it.
Lets all dance to deposed rebuttal.

your whole industry is dependent upon govt subsidizes so why are you so against any for renewable energy?
maybe you are afraid green energy subsidizes will dilute any subsidizes you get b/c the govt is broke.
or you could just be a hater sharing right wing extremist views that "govt subsadizes are bad and we need to cut them out..............except for the ones i get"

That's no different than anybody railing against the same, government assistance they receive.
We've got a presidential candidate knocking the same, government assistance they receive in their own private business.
Our leader in the house is actually hedging against the US bond. He's playing it off as savvy investing, ignoring the fact he's a player in the game of default... or not.
If he lobbies to prevent default, he's not the savvy investor his handlers are insisting. But if we do, the parameters of the investment change such that he could be a rich man.
The former is a hypocrite and that's common. The latter is a potential crook and I think we'll see some change of direction. He's already reduced his hedge from over $13,000 to $3250. He'll either pull out of the hedge completely or cease making public statements over how staunchly he resists budget compromise.

Just read your entire shitloge. while I see the "word" subsidy, what you post is tax breaks. Tax breaks available for the most part, to all business in America. What I posted up some pages back were facts and not some article that mentions subsidies but does not outline what they are. You cannot because there are none. (but a few that don't amount to a hill of beans)
I dealing with idiots here. You claim subsidies as a problem, post an ARTICLE that has the word "subsidy" in the title, but then goes on to deal with tax breaks that for the most past are available to all businesses.
We got one guy here that keeps posting that solar is profitable without all the subsidies since his IQ is to low to understand, now you join his ranks by posting some shit article that uses the word in the title but does not show any oil subsidies.
Another round of bullshit disco. Your ilk tosses around the word 'subsidy" as it does "Racist" and "denier" for the consumption of the ignoramuses on your team..... and yourself I'm sure.
My industry??
WTF do you know about my industry??
Corn is subsidized (government and ethanol), as is cotton, sugar, and a few other crops.
What I grow is not, and is sold globally in a "supply & demand" market.
Fuck off. You are too stupid to even post here.
Tax breaks, subsidies, assistance, corporate welfare. Call it what you want, Mr. Symantics.
I mentioned earlier that grape's posts would be more valuable (less the pejoratives.) Now I'm beginning to wonder.
Apparently no less than all your other expertise.

ok, so you do not receive any subsidizes. great.
most agriculture crops are subsidized where i live and i will admit that i know very little on the subject.
good thing that your opinion doesnt carry any weight.
if you communicate with your workers in the same manner as you carry on here then it must be miserable working for or around you.
shine on GM, shine on.
Maybe he's miserable because he doesn't call enough shots.
