No Nuclear Power

No nuclear power is the goal of many activists and politicians.

How Nuclear Power Works

The words ‘nuclear power’ conjure up all sorts of images in our heads, mushroom clouds, giant concrete towers or maybe even Homer Simpson, but the basic principles of how nuclear power works are really pretty easy to understand, even if you’re not a nuclear physicist. Take a look at this simple guide to how nuclear power works.

Why Nuclear Power is Harmful

For decades it was marketed as clean power, the power of the future, so cheap that it won’t be worth putting through the meter. Unfortunately the reality is very different and even decades later the truth is still the same, that nuclear power is harmful, whichever way you look at it. It’s harmful to people, to animals, to the environment, to the whole world.

What Nuclear Power Does

We all love and expect to have the power of electricity in our homes, so that we can do whatever we like at the flick of a switch. But what’s the real cost of this power? Nuclear power supplies about 20% of the electricity used in America today, but what is the real price we pay?

Main Arguments Against Nuclear Power

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction – who said that? Some smart Alec, anyway, even though there are plenty arguments for nuclear power by people who, quite frankly, ought to know better, there are some serious reasons why nuclear power is not all it’s cracked up to be. Take a look and make up your own mind.

Safety Issues at Nuclear Power Plants

Nuclear power plants are dangerous places, and insufficient safety policies can have disastrous consequences – just ask the people of Chernobyl. Safety issues are therefore of paramount importance in nuclear power plants, well, they are in place anyway. “Homer, where do you think you’re going with that radioactive waste”?

Stop Nuclear Energy Power Plants

No matter what some scientists or government officials with their hands on the purse strings may tell you, it’s imperative that we stop any new nuclear energy power plants. Not sure why, well here are five really good reasons, and I’m sure that you’ll think of a few more, once you get the hang of it and find out what’s really going on.

Nuclear Power Activism

As long as there has been nuclear power, there have been activists against it telling the world what is really going on in the world of nuclear power. After a brief respite in the late 1980s following the Chernobyl disaster, it seems like nuclear power is firmly back on the worldwide political agenda. We must stop it now, before it is too late.

Nuclear Waste Storage Concerns

Do you know what they do with all of that nuclear radioactive waste? No, well you will in a minute, and some of it might just surprise you. It’s just being dumped, when nobody really knows the full extent of the consequences, what a great way to treat the world we live in.
