One big reason we have nuclear power
I wonder if people agree that a major reason we have nuclear facilities is because of nuclear weapons.
What do you think of this video ?

Yes, that would be THE
Yes, that would be THE reason.
Uh, no. The government has
Uh, no. The government has their own facilities. They have no need for the power reactors.
Uh, no to you ! Silly beast !
Our nuclear reactors provide weapons material.
Fact not fiction.
MOX fuel.. is the idea of
MOX fuel.. is the idea of using weaponized nuclear technology to the benefit of civilians.
Plutonium is not weaponized
Plutonium is not weaponized technology. Mox fuel is just a convenient way to get rid of plutonium. We are dismantling weapons so we have a lot of Pu we need to get rid of. It is best just to burn it in a reactor. One can say MOX fuel is direct consequence of lowering or nuclear capability,
You contradict yourself
You contradict yourself badly.

The point is that nuclear energy and nuclear weapons tend to give and take from one another.
TEHRAN — Iran is moving its production of higher-enriched uranium to a mountain bunker, where it plans to triple output by using more advanced centrifuges, state television reported Wednesday.
Iran’s nuclear officials had signaled previously that the country’s most sensitive nuclear equipment would be moved to a site inside a mountain. But the predicted sharp increase in the production of uranium enriched to nearly 20 percent is a new development and will further heighten tensions between Iran and world powers distrustful of the nature of the country’s nuclear program.
“There is no brake and no reverse gear on our nuclear program,” Ahmadinejad told reporters Tuesday. Asked whether he would ever consider stopping the enrichment of uranium, a key demand of the United States and its allies, he replied, “No.”

Oil my dear pro-nuclear citizen, oil is not the answer...
I don't care to be called a "shill" but a concerned citizen is a better word. Your request to watch a video about another oil spill is not going to help me become pro-nuclear. Oil is not the answer.
We have a right to have peace, clean air, water, and food. Thus we need to stop nuclear power.
Until we as humans running large corporations can take responsibility for the reckless behavior based on greed and cutting corners when it comes to safety and environmental concerns, I will be continue to be anti-nuclear and anti-oil and gas, how could oil be the answer with spills like this ?
The Elephant in the Room
There is no overpopulation
There is no overpopulation of people, there's overpopulation of cars. Thus, the problem is not that India and China have a demographic problem, is that those populations want to have cars, and TVs and computers and hot water and 24/7 electricity supply like we do.
Just use bicycles and trains for long distance, we will have to do with planes until we can get Zeppelins to be safer than the Hindenburg.
I feel total clarity after writing this, must the cheap wine.
Ugh. The only "elephant in
Ugh. The only "elephant in the room" is propaganda and ignorance. We Westerners love the "overpopulation" mantra, don't we? Why is that propaganda still so pervasive? We all (me included until recently) repeat it over and over as the reason for mankind's problems.
Follow the money and re-formulate your premises. We MUST stop being useful idiots.

I only got to the #1 reason, the population explosion is over, before realizing you were rehashing bunk.

Looking at this simple graph, do you really believe that?
Before concluding such a
Before concluding such a thing as "the population explosion is over", a rational scientist should wait for the graph to level or decline, no? Who declares such a sentiment when it is still rising steadily?
Follow the money is right.
Follow the money is right. And useful idiots is right. Just like the guy who didn't even get past number 1! Closed minded = easily controlled.
So someone posts a document with great food for thought and you dismiss it 'cause you don't agree with it 'cause your teachers or friends or whatever always told you overpopulation is the root of all evil? And you just agree with whatever graphs or numbers that come from sources that usually have an agenda without question? So whatever happened to curiosity? Exploring facts? Checking the source of the sources? Entertaining the possibility that the original information could be wrong, or skewed, or changed? Rethinking a position? Why would we blindly believe anything nowadays without ruthless exploration? We're all stooges if we keep thinking the same way about the world. Haven't we learned anything?
It's critical to check your premises. Especially now 'cause just about everything you've been told is truth, is not. Or perhaps you just don't get that yet. But you will.
2% growth, for example, on 7
2% growth, for example, on 7 billion is much greater an increase than is 10% growth on 250 million. It's also why money is so much easier made by the rich, and why something like usury, so taken for granted today, was historically more than controversial.
Usury was considered sinful
Usury was considered sinful (great philosophical reading, that)and is now just an everyday term for legalized bankster theft.

Things seemed to get out of hand once we reached 500 million, which would seem a good long-term equilibrium for preserving the best of the human species in balance with all the rest of Planet Earth.
The wisdom of the Georgia
The wisdom of the Georgia Guidestones:
"Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature."
The strangest monument in America looms over a barren knoll in northeastern Georgia. Five massive slabs of polished granite rise out of the earth in a star pattern. The rocks are each 16 feet tall, with four of them weighing more than 20 tons apiece. Together they support a 25,000-pound capstone. Approaching the edifice, it's hard not to think immediately of England's Stonehenge or possibly the ominous monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Built in 1980, these pale gray rocks are quietly awaiting the end of the world as we know it.
Called the Georgia Guidestones, the monument is a mystery—nobody knows exactly who commissioned it or why. The only clues to its origin are on a nearby plaque on the ground—which gives the dimensions and explains a series of intricate notches and holes that correspond to the movements of the sun and stars—and the "guides" themselves, directives carved into the rocks.

That's right. There's a reason the #1 topic among the Good Club is population control. Everything else amounts to fiddling while Rome burns.
The chart
I see your chart here so do you care to make some comments ?
Are you saying nuclear power is here to wipe out the masses by using accidents ?
Are you saying we have too many people on the planet ?
What is your point ?

I think he/she is saying that nuclear energy is not the major problem, the population situation is. Look at that graph. We are going straight up a wall. 10 billion, 25 billion, 50 billion, 100 billion, 200 billion.
Immigration policy worsens
Immigration policy worsens the situation by allowing the most overpopulated third-world disasters to send their people to the first world.
