The French have been using nuclear power for 60% of their energy requirements for the last 50 or so years with no serious incident. It was advocated by Einstein as the future energy provider for mankind. The issue is the fuel; uranium, though abundant, comes with many issues, but there are alternatives, one of them being Thorium.

Research into alternative nuclear fuels is an absolute necessity if we want to be able to provide energy for the eveentual 10 billion people on the planet. Otherwise, what else do you propose? Wind turbines?

Tbh if the solution is nuclear technology and a ever increasing global population I’m happy with the alternative culling of our species.

We do. Do future generations? The rest of the animal and insect kingdoms certainly don't.

Mis type I meant we do deserve it, I have edited.

Steady on. The priority for science is surely the production of crumpet loaf.

Just take a packet of crumpets and pretend it's a sliced loaf. ;-)

The opposition to nuclear power is very strong in the departments the govt want to bury their waste.
They have still not decided what to do with it.

Because they're still using uranium.

There are alternatives to using uranium fuel and more R&D into nuclear power is essential for the human race to survive given it's dependence on automation.

How do you select who lives and who snuffs it, though?

Lottery with no buyouts.

So we keep being told in the meantime us, the French, the US etc all have tonnes of highly dangerous waste we have no idea what to do with.

Yeah we should be looking at hydrogen and we are. Gets less funding than the NRA though.

Right that's it lads, pack up the haldron collider, we don't need a loaf after all.

You don’t is the simple answer. The very poor will go first and it probably will be a blessing because when large amounts of people flock to other countries or locations within countries and barriers are attempted to stop them things will get pretty nasty.
