Comments on ‘Nuclear pizza’
Hooman at September 30, 2003 02:21 PM:
What many developed countries actually think is something like: 1- extermely expensive to maintain in the long run. 2- exteremly hard to maintain. 3- hazardous to environment. In US and Canada there are mountains of used uranium that won't go away. 4- potentially dangerous. Many developed countries are closing down their nuclear power plants. Germany is the first to set a date to shut them down altogether. But what should it be replaced with? Canada is facing the same problem. Ontario, once exporting provice, is sometimes imports power. You would think wind power. Read "Against wind power" in my blog.

The fact that something is both in principle and practice is not wise to do makes you succumb to the inevitability of what you call "necessity". If it is so, I think you beg to agree with the B^B to intervene in Iraq. Another reminder, arguments are inevitability are not very strong. If I have misunderstood you, however, I humbly appologize. It is quite obvious that you are so passionate about your national pride that you have said in other postings in a passive compassionate way, if my description is incorrect I further appologize, that poor ordinary Iranian may suffer for a short time, and issue similar statements resorting to "pride". First, the more you sound passionate about the less you encourage people to listen to you, this is a friendly reminder. Second, even if people agree with you, why are not you addressing the question that this Nuclear... [more at the permalink of the entry above]

Hamed, What was it like during the blackout? Was there a lot of trouble around your resident? Was it scary?

Saoshyant: I almost wrote some answers to your questions to set your mind right about myself. I deleted them and I bound to this, instead as it seem useless: In short you got it all wrong!!! You jump a lot into conclusions. But it is obvious that you and I would have more common ground if met in person. I wish you had read some of my comments in my blog to realize where I am coming from. Good Bye.

The blackout in Ontario, Canada has resulted in a lot of voluntary conservation of electricity. At night many buildings are turned off or largely turned off. The government is paying a small sum to people who buy energy efficient appliances. Many people want to conserve so they are careful to turn off lights. But the government of Ontario is still using nuclear though there have been many problems with the nuclear plants. The problem is to find the money to convert coal generators to gas and build the smaller hydro plants since the government has a huge deficit it inherited from the extremely right wing government which privatized power using the advise of Enron. One problem that has been revealed is government corruption by the previous right wing government and the population growth and urban sprawl.
