<p>To those of you who supported nuclear power before the earthquake hit Japan, do you still advocate it after the ***ushima nuclear accidents?</p>
<p>Yep. Most efficient source of energy compared to the other ones. The plant in Japan was well-engineered to withstand damage like that. If more research and funding was provided for nuclear power, we can create even better, safer ones. Also, we should research nuclear fusion.</p>
<p>I second what zorigoo said. Think in the last 80-something years, what are the big 4 “Nuclear Meltdowns?” Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Dresden, and now this. Those are essentially it. Safe</p>
<p>Many of the ships and submarines in the Navy use it.</p>
<p>Yep. Nuclear power is the future. However, it still won’t take off as long as oil the stigma and t boone pickens is around so =(</p>
<p>By the way, mochi is delicious. You can’t eat too much of it at a time though sadly
also, are you single?</p>
<p>Interesting to note that the US Navy has not had a single nuclear reactor “crisis” in its entire history, a point of pride for the Navy.</p>
<p>Also, the nuclear power industry is one of the few places where competitors will actively share information about the problem they’re having. Nobody wants a disaster after all.</p>

<p>Of course. As has been said above, we’ve had what, 4 major nuclear meltdowns in 20-30 years? The latest one (and the only recent one) was caused by an uncommon natural disaster. </p>
<p>The world can’t rely on coal and natural gas forever.</p>
<p>In homage to the *'[Graduate](<a href="The Graduate (1967) - Quotes - IMDb (this is a college forum after all)…Just one word…[url=<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_power]Fusion[/url”>Fusion power - Wikipedia]Fusion[/url</a>].</p>
<p>Yeah, I want to. It’s almost perfect. The only two problems are 1. Human Error (Which I guess you might be able to solve by removing the human from the equation) and 2. All the waste. I don’t think we can continue to just store it in mountains in Utah or whatever forever.
Because, as other people said, we’re going to run out of oil sometime in the future.</p>
<p>I’m still a fan of nuclear power. Just don’t build the plants in quake-tsunami risk areas.</p>
<p>It sucks that even more people are scared of nuclear power now even though the majority of them are not properly informed about it. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I love mochi! And yes, I am. Why…?</p>
<p>Of course, nuclear power is the future.</p>
<p>What, it’s like 1500 tons of coal = 1kg of Uranium I think.</p>
<p>I still support it. Why wouldn’t I? Seems safer than oil drilling in the middle of the ocean…</p>
<p>Love it! Don’t say this anywhere near Berkeley, California, however, where the City Council would prefer that our energy comes from grunions wriggling on Newport Beach.</p>
<p>Yes, the benefits outweigh the potential risks.</p>
<p>
because I’m in love with you?</p>
<p>Mochi’s soo tasty.</p>
<p>Definitely. I actually think the disaster showed how safe nuclear power is. Those coal and oil factories were wiped out immediately by that tsunami, and I guarantee those did more harm to the environment than a little radiation.</p>
<p>Only a fool would think anything is safe during a 9 magnitude earthquake and crazy tsunamis… Go uranium/thorium and future hydrogen fusion!</p>
