Can nuclear power save the planet??

Dumping nuclear fuel is main problem and it's like a junk for our earth. It destroy life where it is dumped and its emission have lot of harmful radiation which is harmful for human being.  

With the vast resources of natural energy sources available in India, not tapping them is crime against the country. The government should put more resources towardsunconvetional energy sources like Wind power, Hydropower, Power of waves & solar energy to meet the demands.

This requires strong willed Leadership, which unfortunately India lacks. Still with the help of major investment through the private sector & subsidised inputs from govt. can see it through.

The nuclear energy though widely used makes us dependent on others for Uranium, which india does not have in sufficient quantities. This makes imposible know the economics for the same. Also a nuclear plant posses huge threat to the enviornment.

yes the words given by Mr. KISHOR is quite sufficient for the debate that installing nuclear power plant is not only the solution to over come the polluton. the green houses gases which is produced by auto vehicles is quite lagre and it could not compensate by the nuclear plants , yes it does but in front of vehicles or automobile pollutants it is negligible.

Mr.Mckirdy i completely agree to your view. Definitely nuclear power is the dangerous form of energy to utilize instead we can utilize the most abundant and cheapest form of energy i.e.solar energy.It will definitely solve the problem as this form of energy will continue to exist till the life exists and also it can be afforded by all the people.So definitely we should think of making use of solar energy.

what would you say?

Nuclear power is the most dangerous form of power. Thomas Edison once said " I put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait till oil and coal run out." We need to get off of coal and fuel to power our present and future. OPEC is well aware of oil shortages. Now for the truth. Nuclear is not a endless supply of energy. The fuel will not be available for very much longer. This is a real shortage over anything else on this earth. Then there is a bigger problem with nuclear waste. We should stop looking backwards and take charge now. I know I am telling you this and I quoted Thomas Edison from the past. He was one the smartest men in the world. We did not listen then and for some reason we are not listening now. "Think" it makes perfect sense. We need to stop being followers and lead the way. This is not just one countries problem it is the world's worst problem. If we do not act now it will be too late. Oil and coal are not a end-less supply of energy. The sun is! I don't know why we talk and we do not take action. Nobody can afford wind energy. It breaks and the wind's energy is a tinny fraction of energy. The sun's energy is the most reliable and powerful energy on this earth.

It is reported by  Scientific Americanthat waste from burnt coal in conventional thermal power plants can be more radioactive than the waste from a nuclear plant. The URL for this information is given here.

This subject needs more investigation before conclusions can be drawn.
