Is nuclear energy considered renewable?

[magma]

Tbh if the japanese cant fix it i dont see how anybody can.

Nuclear power is always gonna be risky in places with a large number of earthquakes/typhoons etc.

yh and nuclear energy is one of humans more selfish achievements, taking into account that human existence can disappear but nuclear energy will always be there fucking every living thing that stills walking around.

If nuclear waste is properly taken care of it doesn't have to affect anything - it's only a problem if it's not properly managed. Our planet is pretty thick - we've got lots of scope for burying stuff at levels that'll be safe far longer than any of us are around. Going forward we may also have the ability to jettison stuff into space.

Ignoring nuclear energy and actually, demonstrably and irreversibly fucking the planet in order to get energy out of it by burning trees and ancient organisms seems more "selfish" to me.

If you believe that we are responsible is ok, some nuclear cementery are very well managed like in holland,but i have lost all my fath in this race tbh. How do you know that in ten years is not going to be a war? you think that an army that throws white fosforous bombs to kid is going to care about bombing a nuclear factory?
or maybe a disease kills millions of people, in the moment that a nuclear factory is not attended is a huge danger for everything

Tbh, whatever we choose to harness of it, our knowledge is now at a point where if someone really wanted, they could wipe out humanity in a fairly short period of time. That's been true since the 1940s at least and it gets easier with every day. Every biological advance, every new drug, every new weapon. Nuclear Fission is small fry compared to some of the stuff on the research table right now, too.

We can either spend the rest of eternity being terrified of our own ability to abuse power and technology or we can... live...

So let's poison the planet and the entire solar system so that we can ... live...??

How do you "poison" a solar system? It's radioactive already and it doesn't have any life outside of planetary atmospheres.

Honestly... who are we saving it for? Molecules of hydrogen? Really?

The Sun is the biggest nuclear reactor going 'round these parts - should we clean the solar system of that too?

[Electric_Head]

Good answer.

What happens if you lauch the nuclear waste into space and it explodes in the atmosphere like the Challenger

i´m not terrified about the end of humans race i don´t give a fuck about that , in fact if i had a big red button for killing everyone i would kill you guys , what I really care for is the end of life in general, how can things come to life?? is something that leave me without words and that is clearly beyond our existence.

yeah thats what the link i posted gets into. its just too costly and risky to be worth it

Only a matter of time before humans destroy themselves. Might be viruses, terrorists, robots, who knows..

[kidshuffle]

it'll probably be robot terrorists who spread viruses

My favorite kind of robots

[skell1ngton777]

u mean liek arab robots?

[Forum]

I don't specicfy races when it comes to robots

[skell1ngton777]

im on abt tererests

[Forum]

Yes, one day terrorists will build nuclear virus robots

[dickman69]

i struggle to think of anyway humans could make the world completely inhabitable before destroying ourselves

[DiegoSapiens]

why?

[DiegoSapiens]

maybe cockroaches survives

[dickman69]

people would have to completely eradicate all forms of life & then themselves?

how could they do that
