    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Discussions on these have been underway since the 50s when it was agreed to build a nuclear power station at Jervis Bay - the foundations were even built and then it was knocked on the head. The foundations are now a carpark.

    Will not happen in Australia for a long time though it would be the best thing for the environment.

    Not just the greens I can assure you, and all those brave citizens that want a nuclear plant in their backyard should save some room to store the waste, for say a few hundred thousand years, still got your hands up, Regards Frank.

    Could always bury it in one of those huge coal pits that we won't be quite as reliant on...

    Fascinating stuff...
    Thorium-based nuclear power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Australia has a fair bit of it as well.

These types of reactors won't produce weapons grade waste, so they aren't seen in a very positive light by the countries that have Nuclear Weapons programs.

    And yes, I'd have on in my back yard. In fact if they ever decide to build one, I'd probably go looking for a job there....

    +1.
    Big fan myself too.
    My Brother In Law is a lot smarter than me ....He is a Nuclear Physicist...he has been involved in the field for 40+ years, and has worked in many Nuclear Establishments around the World. He says it is the best & safest method of power genaration....bar none.
    And yes, as another member has correctly said, the Japanese "failure" was nothing to do with anything "Nuclear"...it was simply that the machinery used for cooling was mounted (putting it simply) too low, & was overwhelmed by the Tsunami.
    Wouldn't worry me at all, where one was built.
    Cheers, Pickles.
