We went to church about 3 times a year but paid no attention to the teachings of Christianity. <br />Thank you very much for your question. <br />JaneChelliah Laityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357380981465547579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107806561569375484.post-16822931916979100832011-04-07T12:24:54.443-07:002011-04-07T12:24:54.443-07:00Interesting.

Till the Science is clearer on what the long terms effects are from storing waste underground I don't think we will get much further. <br />Thank you very much for your comments. <br />JaneChelliah Laityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357380981465547579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107806561569375484.post-12122601423964508142011-03-29T14:23:20.821-07:002011-03-29T14:23:20.821-07:00I can support the peaceful uses of nuclear power i...I can support the peaceful uses of nuclear power in principle, but until the problem of waste disposal is solved satisfactorily, I have the deepest doubts about using it. Trouble is, climate change is an even worse threat, and we're likely to need nuclear power if we're going to keep that under control.Robert Brenchleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17006227551531676492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107806561569375484.post-4479030874406076032011-03-29T13:21:05.738-07:002011-03-29T13:21:05.738-07:00I think those of us who are opposed to the use of ...I think those of us who are opposed to the use of nuclear power are not merely concerned as to the way it is to be used, but more for the huge potential for destruction such an unstable element holds.<br />Key in all of its uses is the danger of leakage which, as we have seen in Chernobyl and now again in Japan is nearly impossible to contain.<br />There is also the problem of disposal of waste from the nuclear plants world-wide.<br />The affects of even minor under-publicised leaks are so long lasting and wide ranging as to make this form of power permanently unsafe.Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.com
