the issue is that the geologically best places to put nuclear waste are right under a bunch of rich tories, and yes, not wanting a scandinavian-model reasonably well managed waste dump in under your backyard does make you an obstinate NIMBY, plus the $70bn will also contribute to the repository for every other nuclear plant

alternatively the uk could just contract out nuclear waste disposal to finland or something, because finland has giant chunks of granite all over the place and finnish villages actually like it when the nuclear industry moves in (oh noes, teh evil european union :qq: :britain: :qq:)

The US can't even store waste under no one. It's surrounded by 30,000 square miles of not a god drat thing.

agreed. nothing is free. there is a trade off for everything. 100 years from now our mutant offspring will be cursing us for using up all the wind. i think sailors will be hit especially hard.

Giant flywheel maybe? I want someone to build one and then for it to flatten a city (preferably in Des Moines).

if you take energy from the winds then you'll slow them down and THEN what havoc will you have wrought?

We put the wind turbines into reverse and add it back using backup hydroelectric power, duh.

just a quick note here that everyone forgets (because they are loving retarded babies)

we dont have the capacity to "store" that much energy so you can never be totally dependent on wind or solar energy (sometimes its not windy, sometimes its nighttime). the "greenest" solution that we actually have is nuclear, but no one wants to talk about that cause they are the previously mentioned loving retarded babies

im fine with it, but its kind of a waste of time. most of it is subsidized by the government to create busy work for morons and steal our tax money

Recently in my area people complained about wind power because they think the turbines are making them and their babies sick.

Things turning in circles don't make you sick, ok?
You'd have to be pretty drat dumb to think that windmills make you vaguely sick.

There's people that think solar panels steal sunlight and kill surrounding plants.

People are loving morons.

For only the low price of 19.99 a month we will build a fund to erect a wind turbine wherever you die. The best way to ensure you can troll long after death AND still do some good in the world.

Last summer it was a windy but hot day and I was driving my old mother-in-law somewhere and the stupid loving bitch looks at a wind mill and said, "Ock, I can't believe they waste electricity running those giant fans. We didn't need to have wind all the time when I was little."

I'm not making that up.

I really hate her.

Maybe they should give prisoners the option of riding a electricity generating cycle and they get out earlier depending on how many watts they produce. Also enslave the whole bottom 90% of the country, bring back serfdom and human chattel.

Why don't wind turbines come in any color except boring white?

I wanna see some with cool racing stripes and that make patterns when they spin.
