Making a blunt nuclear energy video
So I got incredible reactions to the “Nuclear energy is the be all end all” post I made not long ago. And apparently it’s the most blunt argument for nuclear energy around, at least according to some
Considering this issue is pretty damn important to me I’m going to try to make a hard-hitting blunt video for youtube on this, because videos seem to have more power sometimes and also… too many people do not like to read.
So I’m going to concentrate my free time on making a REALLY GOOD and professional video on the whole “nuclear is the be all end all and comparable to fire” thing over the next few days. So I may not get around to posting as many blog updates as I usually do. It’ll be posted here… obviously ![]()

The insurance quote of the reliable insurance companies is more preferable rather than the low-quality insurance companies. The business insurance is very feasible for the businessmen who want to take safety measures against any risky situations or financial losses. The life insurance provides full-assurance to the insurer how to take security measures against any mishap of life. The insurer is liable to submit insurance form in order to take insurance leads of a company. The home insurance claim is approved by the homeowners in the case of disastrous damages to residential buildings.

Nuclear Energy: Advancing Its Critical Role in Climate Change Policy
America’s nuclear power plants produce nearly three-quarters of the electricity that does not directly produce greenhouse gases. Prudent policies to address the climate change issue—domestically and internationally—should recognize nuclear energy’s contribution. What opportunities lie ahead as these policies take shape?

Huffington Post - The Truth About Nuclear Energy
My Google Alert for “new nuclear plants” pointed out an article with an interesting title yesterday morning - The Truth About Nuclear Energy. The title plus the teaser excerpt from the article made me grin - I was pretty sure I knew who the author of the comment was before clicking on the link in my Google Alert email.
I was right - Gwyneth Cravens, author of the recently released book titled Power to Save the World: The Truth about Nuclear Energy (reviewed by Atomic Insights under the title of I now have “Power to Save the World” and you should too) is now blogging for The Huffington Post.
Way to go, Gwyneth. I expect that gaining visibility on that popular site will increase the visibility of her message - the fact that the world has a lot to learn about nuclear power. As Gwyneth and many readers of Atomic Insights will attest, the more you know and understand about the technology, the more you will see it as a potentially world saving contribution.
Go read the Huffington Post comment and leave a message for Gwyneth to encourage her to write some more.

Nuclear Energy
The other week our Science class took up the topic Force and as expected had a discussion about Nuclear Energy. One of the activities the book told us to do was to have an oral debate on whether the use of nuclear energy was an advantage or a disadvantage. As what I have expected, about a third of my class voted off nuclear energy as a disadvantage.
People today are afraid of using nuclear energy because they were traumatized with the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, Ukraine in April 1986, wherein thousands were killed by the actual explosion, radioactive effect or by the diseases caused by radiation. Yes its true, the use of nuclear energy is really a risk to the lives of a lot of people but if placed in an isolated spot an accident would have a very little effect.
Nuclear energy also gives a lot of benefits, a single power plant could produce millions of watts of electricity per second compared to a simple electric power plant that produces fewer watts. This could decrease our bills in electricity. Nuclear energy is also a source of nuclear weapons, if a country possesses nuclear weapons it would be seen as an intimidating force and would be feared by other nations, thus maintaining peace around the world. The greatest example of a nuclear weapon used as an instrument of peace is during World War II, when the Americans dropped a nuclear bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima forcing the Japs to finally surrender and thus ending the war. Nuclear energy is also helpful in the medical world, it is used in molecular imaging (its like an x-ray only it can see the inside of a human’s body much more clearly than a normal one).
And yes, nuclear energy has several disadvantages, or should I say risks? A poorly-built nuclear reactor could leak and would cause an explosion, killing thousands. But as I said earlier, if we would isolate the reactor maybe it would cause less damage.
