If you mention "mining disasters", "oil pollution" as risks, and are talking at the same time about the massive amount of nuclear energy used in France, I'm afraid you're forgetting Chernobyl, Fukushima, Three-Mile Island, Sellafield and Fessenheim as well as the endless small "incidents" happening and don't make it to the headlines. It was once said, that one nuclear major incident would happen maybe each 100.000 years. It already made it in the book "lies the industry told us", plus the book "and we wanted to believe them".

 

Do you know there's already a need for pre-nuclear steel to make chirurgical instruments? So much, that it pays to retrieve shipwrecks from WW I and II. Funny, they're using the steely graves of thousands of sailors to heal patients. I had no clue that we already have too much pollution to produce these things without shipwrecks.

 

Not to mention the need of "rare earths" for billions of single cars. But these mountains are in China and don't bother us much...  as long as we get enough from them already put in boxes.

 

No matter how you look at it, transport not only costs money but due to more profits, we're exhausting the Earth in various ways.

I did say "not to mention mining disasters"!     

 

   I'm not advocating nuclear power but, it clearly has an advantage over coal in terms of CF!    

 

 

    In the end the public roads will be clogged to death and public transport will become obligatory,.......just electric bikes will remain!       

 

<p style="font-size:14px;">    No, I have never heard of using pre-nuclear steel......I will google it!

<p style="font-size:14px;">     Done that, OK, it's used for measuring instruments...Geiger counters, whole body counting etc. Interesting!
