Some of the radioactive isotopes have a long half life, others break down into harmless isotopes in just a few years. Statistically speaking nuclear is by far the greenest energy source

I don't know much about nuclear power generation, and am not disputing your information, but am curious how those figures were determined. It seems strangely coincidental that death percentages all decline by 0.1% incrementally. I wonder how do they determine the number of deaths directly attributed to coal, oil, or gas?

My grandfather, who was a leading inventor scientist for NASA, based in FLA., was certain that nuclear is the way to go. His foresight decades into the future was a marvel. Along with his fellow scientists , all over the world as his friends at that time, also , to a person, agreed.

Lets back up a bit.
Where does that nuclear fuel come from ?
How "green" is the entire process of obtaining the fuel ?
Can the resultant nuclear energy power every mechanical need to produce the fuel with enough left over to power the grid ?
Seems sort of like the coal/oil to charge a battery scenario.
I dunno .... just wondering.
confused

I have never seen a coal plant area end up like Chernobyl. I have lived an an area with 7 coal plants within an hour of me most of my life.

I agree with this. I know of two nuclear plants in Nebraska. No problems. Every industry is going to demonize the competition. Just so happens this administration has alot of money to be made with their pre-planned "investment" in wind and solar.

The “green movement” is all about ELIMINATING human impact, thus nuclear and hydro are a no-no

It’s sad because nuclear/hydro are the most cost effective/reliable forms on non C02 energy

Humans are the problem for the green movement

Ontario gets 60% of its electricity from Nuclear.
We invented the CANDU reactor.

Lithium mines get the thumbs up but not uranium.....????
Everything about this administration smells of rotten eggs.

Where does the fuel come from ? (details please)

Humans need to be eliminated according to them.

still looking for the processes of acquiring that fuel ..... resources used, etc ...

Canada exports 85 % of our Uranium production.
The other 15% is used to fuel the Candu reactors.
