So /sci/, why would anyone support the idiotic idea of atomicpower? Nuclearpower creates too much atomic waste to be safe!

Anyone else think this Fukushima is going to have far greater long term ramifications than this isolated incident?

The gutter press are whipping up an absolute furor, and the masses are lapping it up, all of whom don't have the first clue about fission reactors.

If there is a serious breach of the containment vessel then I can see governments around the world kowtowing to misinformed public opinion and cutting funding that will seriously put the brakes on the construction of new nuclear power plants.

Chernobyl set us back far enough, if this develops into anything that could threaten health on a wider scale, then I seriously think this situation will be responsible for a future energy crisis of a far worse scale than has been anticipated up until now.

And what of fusion research, that will surely receive even less public funding once the mong masses have voiced their opinion, our one perfect solution to our energy demands scuttled.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
