a discussion forum for Polywell fusion

I'm experienced in politics as an activist and election official (and not a republican), so I know how this works (I've also worked as an energy analyst, so I know the energy industry pretty well). Claims that the "problem of nuclear waste" needs to be solved are disengenuous when the "problem" has been solved for decades but anti-nukers have stymied every attempt at the solutions:Maui wrote:Oh, come on. I hate our tendencies to assume the worst from the other side. All that Obama has said is that the problem of nuclear waste needs to be solved before building new fission plants. What is unreasonable about that?IntLibber wrote: Well Obama is anti-nuclear-anything, so its a waste of time to try there, the political left is almost unanimously against any kind of nuclear power (other than the few intelligent greens who have admitted nuke is the only solution to saving the environment).
And who --on either side-- thinks that nuclear power is the only option? Certainly, it could be a significant piece, but I bet all but a few people here even realize nuclear power can not account for all of the solution, especially in the short term.
If you think McCain would be better to solve the energy problem, fine. But don't buy into the B.S. of the political henchmen, okay?
