Nuclear energy is not hte key to unity in politics.

This is ridiculous and shortsighted. If the president continues this type of reckless behavior, then the MAster will take issue, with the nuclear power plants to show the president that it is not in his or our best interest to go back down this road.

This is not going to happen, and if it does, then all will know it was Obama's mistake. Nuclear power has it's place, but now that place is in the past.
:o

Do you believe that Nuclear energy can regroup all politcal parties behind this one agenda?

No Joey. We will not...'eventually run out'...we will never run out..
Please show you speak truth.
Wikipedia: [i]Peak oil[/i] wrote: Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of production enters terminal decline. The concept is based on the observed production rates of individual oil wells, and the combined production rate of a field of related oil wells...

Wikipedia: [i]Oil depletion[/i] wrote: The American Petroleum Institute estimated in 1999 the world's oil supply would be depleted between 2062 and 2094, assuming total world oil reserves at between 1.4 and 2 trillion barrels and consumption at 80 million barrels per day.[4] In 2004, total world reserves were estimated to be 1.25 trillion barrels and daily consumption was about 85 million barrels, shifting the estimated oil depletion year to 2057.[1] The United States Energy Information Administration predicts world consumption of oil will increase to 98.3 million barrels per day in 2015 and 118 million barrels per day in 2030.

Yes. But that was not you original question Joey...you have even shown so yourself above.
I'll concede any notion that I've failed to ask this question properly before, but now that we have an answer we can work with...

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but since I'm new here, I'd just like to ask: Does this website tolerate trolling behavior?

Reading this thread, it seems Iorene seems more intent on provoking than on discussion.

*********

God does not protest Nuclear Energy, since Acts 10:15 says, "Do not call unclean what God has made clean".

Since God made Nuclear Energy, and it provides the energy for everything that moves, it has to be clean or else nothing is clean.

In Genesis, God gives Man dominion over everything on Earth, so that would have to include the nuclear energy that is possible.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me the problem with nuclear energy, let alone demonstrate God hates in, in particular since nuclear fusion is the most common energetic reaction in the universe.

I've been trying my best to get this sorted out.

My best understanding thusfar is...
1- Politicians can't agree on the use of nuclear energy.
2- Somehow the "Master" - whoever that is - is going to take issue and show the president the error of his ways.
3- Nuclear energy is a thing of the past.
4- God doesn't like us using nuclear energy.
5- Petroleum will always be available.

Of those, the only one I can see as remotely valid is that politicians don't agree on the use of nuclear energy.

I've yet to see any substantiation for the rest.

I can only imagine which voters were soured. This “News� looks more like FOX News or maybe even the 700 club news reporting. Well at least the commentary by Lorene does.
When was it really the goal to have “unity in politics�? Unity is need to solve the energy problems and unity would be a secondary goal in order to achive another goal or solve another problem. No one is calling it a key to unity.
You accuse Obama of being is “ridiculous and shortsighted� with “reckless behavior� and all he did was support one on many options and possibilities. What is his agenda and why do you think he is being ridiculous, shortsighted and reckless? Please be specific.
You tossing nuclear energy into the trash with yesterday ignores all the research going on and they is a better chance of it playing an important part in the future than anything you wrote being anything but more slurs from someone that seems to be ignorant and bitter.
I had to wonder which “MAster will take issue�, God or Satan and which side you were actually on as you didn’t really Who the “Master� was or why he would take issue or over what.

What a piece of work.

Looks like lorene has dropped out of the forums. I'll take it her claims will not get supported.

I support Obama's promotion of nuclear energy. Why is it France gets 70% of their power from nuclear energy but we can't?

You'd think the global warming crowd would be all over this.

The problem with the current technology of Nuclear power is that the radioactive waste products have a very long half life, and are very toxic. They need special handling, and a way to dispose of it for about 60,000 to 100,000 years without having it contaminate the environment.

(Note: The new technologies potentially produce waste that will be radioactive for merely a few hundred years instead, and less waste too. However, a major rework of the regulations need to be done to allow companies to take advantage of the new technologies, and we know how effective government is about red tape)
“What do you think science is? There is nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?�
