There is a lot of debate currently about green energy. Solar is still not efficient, and wind energy is way too intrusive. Both of these are also not dense enough to provide for our ever increasing power needs. Nuclear energy has as many for it as against it. New technology and strict building codes could conceivably make a nuclear power plant as safe, or safer, than any other form of power generation. However, that safety comes at a very high price, higher than most utilities would pay. This is evident in the Fukushima disaster where the company did not want to pay the cost to ensure containment in the event of a disaster such as the one that struck. Not that they couldn't, they considered it an unlikely enough event that they were unwilling to pay for it. Added to the cost of the initial build, is also the cost of the nuclear waste generated.
So, what do you think about the future of energy?
