But Nuclear program is the answer to the world energy shortage. Did you know that France for instance produces over 75 % of their electricity by Nuclear reactors ! Yeaps, so it is ! So despite the environmentalists, no doubt this will be the key to energy shortage if oil continues to go higher and higher. After all, no Nuclear reactors have been built in the U.S.A, Japan or the EU for already many many years. some exisiting reactors plants have even been closed, because of the environmentalists pressures ! In the U.S.A. alone no Nuclear reactor was built during the last 30 years. Technology and security has also dramatically been improved since then. Just look Brazil or China, they are still building new Nuclear reactors. Therefore just wait when developed nations, the major consumers of oil, will be more strangled with the energy shortage and when they will have no alternative but to build new reactors. More the price of oil goes up the more nuclear reactors will be built again. At one point when that decision will be taken not only by developed nations but also by large developing countries such as Brazil or China, new reactors will mushroom everywhere but on the planet but not in every country. Price of energy will then simply collapse as it already did several times in the past. And bye bye again to your sugarcane, soya or canola bio-fuel, even if a small portion in the mix will remain to avoid the closing of all the new plants that were built. It already happened, there is no reason it wont happen again ! - Guest Sun, 29 Jan 2006 15:40:51 +0100
