USA, N. Korea, Nuclear Power And Double Standards.

The last part yes... duh But france is 90% of nuclear energy. I know because I work for the parent company of France for nuclear engineering.

More importantly: no more baguettes ;;

I meant about the 90%. That's rediculously high. Wish we had that here.

do you know how large France is?

Not as big as Texas! I've heard 75% of France's power comes from fission reactors, not 90. And nuking France, why not?? I mean, it's FRANCE!

even more importantly, no more pchan.

France gets an enormous amount of their electricity from nuclear power, I read that too. I don't remember the % but it was credited with part of why France has some of the cleanest air in the developed world because of it I think.

Aside from the risk of a plant melting down, and contaminating the surrounding area/ground water they also have another pleasant feature. A perfectly run plant that never had any emergencies still will produce byproducts that are, and will continue to be deadly for thousands of years. Therein lies the problem. The true nuclear threat of our lifetime will not be the big bad commies that eat babies, and are such a "grave threat" It will be an act of terrorism which involves "waste materials." A lot easier to come by those sort of materials than you might think.

So if a country wants to play the "it's for energy research/production" card it's better to steer them in the direction of a smarter cleaner renewable resource. That goes for the USA also as far as I'm concerned. Since this country takes it upon itself to tell many other countries what their policies should be just seems we could kinda kill two birds with one stone there. Alas, that will only happen in fantasyland unfortunately.

The reality of the situation is the U.S. & other countries will continue to try to develop, and use sources of energy that are dirty, and harmful. Also they'll keep pointing their doomsday machines at eachother instead of trying to solve problems like climate change, and poverty.
