We, and by that I mean nuclear space supporters, need to discuss ways to show the public that nuclear power is safe and needs to continue to be the main thrust of power plants and the space program. So many people have no idea how much safer new power plant designs are or how much more efficient new plant designs are so that much less waste is created. The problem with plutonium can be solved by using it as a source of power instead of a dangerous waste. There are nuclear reactions involving thorium that do not create plutonium, there are many areas of research that are not being pursued due to the lack of demand for nuclear power. Nuclear power can almost completely replace oil if we as a nation really want to break away from big oil and the middle east. I know that much of our government is financed by big oil and probably controlled by big oil as well, but if the people in charge are true patriots then nuclear power needs to be reborn and new power plants need to be built. If we are ever going to power our cars with hydrogen nuclear power will be needed to generate that hydrogen. Nuclear power is much cleaner than coal which, as many people don't know, releases considerable radioactivity into the atmosphere as well as contributing to global warming. We need an active movement to oppose the anti nuclear people on all fronts. Without nuclear power humanity is doomed to extinction, only nuclear power can serve us over the long term. The only way to insure safe power is to build new modern nuclear power plants to replace the old ones that are out dated. We need to make as much or more noise as the anti nuclear people to convince all the parents and children that the only way to truly make their families safe is by using nuclear power. It's so easy to whip up opposition to something most people don't understand and see as mysterious and dangerous. It's so easy to mislead people about nuclear power because of the hype surrounding the dangers of radiation. People need to understand that radiation is a part of the environment all around us not some sort of demonic source of death. Nuclear power can be controlled, overall nuclear power is less dangerous than other sources of power. Much more dangerous chemicals are routinely used, handled, and disposed of in the service of industry. Nuclear power must be portrayed as the force that will save our countries and civilization from slipping back into the dark ages. No other industry is required to make due with old technology that may be not up to par compared with what is currently possible. We have wasted too much time waiting for the pie in the sky nuclear fusion genie to appear and save us. We need modern fission power plants to take us into the 21st century. Write your government representatives, make them hear our voices, let them know that there are voices or reason who know we need real power right now not at some far off indeterminate date. Don't be afraid to speak up when people talk about the dangers of nuclear power, let them know that the hype, lies, and emotional arguments are stealing our future. If they want to protect the environment let them know nuclear power will make that possible. Without nuclear power we are at the mercy of oil and the countries that control it control our destinies. To break free of the tyranny of big oil and the middle east we need to use technology and we have it now in the form of nuclear fission.
