There are some more moderate types about who are supportive, ones who genuinely believe in warble gloaming from CO2 and are concerned about long term waste problems from current nuclear power, and even concede that renewables aren't going to provide anything like enough power. Maybe they still worry about the n-word but to them this is preferable to the alternatives. The vocal ones though... yeah, you're right. They'll just hate it. As I said in the post they don't want answers, they want austerity.Angry Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491082312193274360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267928368747294421.post-6628021019388373872010-09-01T06:07:28.921+10:002010-09-01T06:07:28.921+10:00Oil and coal might go against the thorium reactors...Oil and coal might go against the thorium reactors but the biggest objectors will be the greens.

I'd say its far more likely that the oil boys, not to mention the coal and gas boys, will join the uranium based nuclear industry in trying hard to make this go away. I wouldn't bet on them spending money on changing to a cheap energy source that they don't know much about. The usual form is to protect what they're doing now by finding an easily influenced politician and dripping money in his pocket and poison in his ears.Angry Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491082312193274360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267928368747294421.post-46684186413065899062010-08-31T20:14:23.960+10:002010-08-31T20:14:23.960+10:00This will only happen once the oil moguls have con...This will only happen once the oil moguls have control of the material to exploit!Oldrightiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03192587284458430556noreply@blogger.com
