        Yes of course, I've watched the Simpsons since I was 3 years old.

            I just did some reading about nuclear power and reprocessing and I am impressed. It is definitely a sure fire way to extinguish our need for foreign oil and will make the global warming a laughing matter. The really neat thing about nuclear is that once the fuel is depleted it can be reprocessed and used again (only 5% of the fuel is lost during the reprocessing). So with 95% of the waste being reused as fuel again we have very efficient power. We can then easily produce hydrogen for vehicles without producing CO2. If the environmentalists would just let up and and stop lobbying then we could fight "global warming" and high energy prices without destroying the economy and taking Americas freedom. We must go forward with nuclear power.

            This is the problem with you. You just do *some* reading and you get impressed. How do you think you can cut down on oil imports with nuclear energy? Do you want vehicles to run on nuclear power? I can't imagine what happens on a collision. :omg:

                      The premise is they'll run on hydrogen produced by electrolysing water using nuclear generated electricity.

                      Generating electricity using nuclear power doesn't produce green house gases which are presumed to contribute to global warming.

                      If we're going to power vehicles (and other things) with hydrogen, it has to come from somewhere. One way is reforming natural gas or other hydrocarbons but that also produces carbon dioxide. If you use fossil fuel electric plants to generate electricity to electrolyse water into hydrogen, that also generates carbon dioxide as well as other pollution. Nuclear generated electricity does not.

                      While 20% of our electricity is nuclear, no new plants have been ordered since 1978.

                              I'm not kidding to send it to space, nuclear waste releases weak nuclear force (radioactivity), in space the amount of it is huge, drop our waste on space is like release a drop or water in a sea 1 billion (randomly small number) times bigger than out earth. I think only two reason why it is not been done in that way. 1) If the rocket fail and explodes before cross the atmosphere there is a risk to create a not so nice cloud of radioactivity. 2) Is cheaper paying to a corrupt government country to bury the waste under their land.

                                I'm not kidding to send it to space, nuclear waste releases weak nuclear force (radioactivity), in space the amount of it is huge, drop our waste on space is like release a drop or water in a sea 1 billion (randomly small number) times bigger than out earth. I think only two reason why it is not been done in that way. 1) If the rocket fail and explodes before cross the atmosphere there is a risk to create a not so nice cloud of radioactivity. 2) Is cheaper paying to a corrupt government country to bury the waste under their land.

                                I was grinning because you said we could aim the sun with nuclear waste for fun.

                                  Also instead send it to the sun, we could create a spacecraft like Voyager and send it to deep space and instead a gold-plated copper disk we can put a metal plate with a message, so when aliens decode the message it will read. “DON'T OPEN THE CONTAINER, if you can read this message means you have been exposed to a lethal dose of radioactivity and you are screw” ;P

                                      This is the problem with you. You just do *some* reading and you get impressed. How do you think you can cut down on oil imports with nuclear energy? Do you want vehicles to run on nuclear power? I can't imagine what happens on a collision. :omg:

                                        Exactly. With the record of the space shuttle, it is too much of a risk. Actually, it is not just the space shuttle. Rockets have malfunctioned lots of times (failed satellite launches and other problems).

                                          The conversion of the transportation sector to hydrogen isn't going to happen overnight. Old vehicles will be replaced with new hydrogen powered vehicles gradually, assuming that hydrogen is they way things go. Biodiesel is looking up as a possibly easier transition.

                                          The new nuclear plants should be breeders of the design currently under development that produce less waste and much less of the extremely long half life waste.
