A Nuclear Energy Plant is like tethering a rampant and rabid dog on a length of string in the middle of a large city.I would have to ask
would anyone want to live near a nuclear plant vs wind mills
now it is true that nuclear power is well managed in most countries and they safely store waste and about 3 percent of waste is high level waste that is buried deep in the ground.
Nuclear power is not renewable
Wind power is renewable
wind power is depended on the wind and when it will stop blowing but its a matter of when will it blow again and storage capacity.
The bird issues is nonsense as I said before man does a lot of other things that kill birds but nobody complains about it. Are people going to stop flying, driving their cars, or hunting.
The noise level is dependent on how close you live to the windmill but how close do you want to live near a nuclear power plant
Sure you can say their safe but no think you ma' am for me
A windmill or solar panels can be built for single homes and supply that home with all the power it needs in general terms. After initial installation cost and repairs, will it save people money. It sounds reasonable.
Hypothetically speaking Nuclear power plants can be a target in war and terrorist attacks. It is a possibility. What if the 9/11 terrorist had targeted a nuclear facility rather than the pentagon or a large building
One well placed bomb will cause more damaged at a nuclear facility than one placed near a wind tower or Sun farm. The US does take this threat seriously
The NRC carries out "Force on Force" exercises at all nuclear power plant sites at least once every three years.
