Wind Turbines or Power Stations?

[Azza]

The cost of Wind Power to put up and Keep replacing it not worth it, Takes too much time and is unreliable, Nuclear Power is one of the Cleanest and Most Power producing energys around, The UK Hardly has any Nuclear Power Plants and most are being Decommissioned, If we built anthoer generation of Nuclear Power Plants it would benefit our country greatly, Jobs, Cheap Energy, Not having to rely on other Nations, Coal and Gas produce most of the Uk's energy because they are the biggest power producers in the UK.

nuclear is good and that but there isnt anywhere to put the waste and depending which it is depends of the easyness like some u can hide easy as it is weak but it cud be stronger and be quite hard to hide so it wont do any1 any harm. I wouldnt say its the cleanest due to the waste that is produced.

now you will say soemthing to make wat i said wrong or some1 will ^^

I always see Wind Turbines near Airports.

They're alot better than Power Stations.

One of the reasons the wind turbines proposed near my house were opposed is because of a nearby MOD base saying the turbines would interfer with radar. But that don't make sense cause I have also seen them near Aiports.

Nuclear power is also costly but probably not as costly as wind. Bu when you say it takes to much time, I think building and decommissioning a nuclear power station will take well longer. And the time for the nuclear waste to decay, millions of years. Nuclear power isn't very safe, example chernoblyl (or however you spell it). But saying that if a nuclear power station in france was to leak it would affect much of this country anyway. Nuclear energy can create jobs but what I think is better is to start coal mining again on a large scale. This will provide alot of jobs and coal is said to last 200 years longer than oil and gas at current usage rates. Coal power stations arn't what they used to be and don't pollute much, furthermore if a coal power station was built in a city it could provide heating for many homes, which would be good for the environment because people wouldn't be using fuels to heat their houses. With this there would be little need for cooling towers which lowers the visual impact of a power station.

Nuclear Power is very safe, Chernobyl had 6 USSR Reactors 2 of which were still being built at the time, Reator 4 was the one that went wrong, USSR Reators were different to Western Reactors, USSR Reators were poorly built and designed, Nuclear Power has moved on over the past 20 Years it is Safer and Cleaner than ever before, As to the waste we could either put it in Unused mines OR we could pay Africa to put it in their Deserts and in the future we might be able to use space.

Maybe they will find a way of speading up the radioactive decay and sell it on as lead.

Yeh bury it in the Desert or Mines then if in the Future when they've found a Cheap way to recycle it then they can take it out of the Mines/Deserts and recycle it.

Yeh I spose so, they should put it back in the mines they got the uranium out of.

Has anyone heard about those hippies camping out at drax power station protesting? They say it's the biggest carbon edmitter in the UK or whatever. But acording to drax's site it is the biggest, newest, most efficient and cleanest coalfired power station in britain. Why don't they go protest at the steal works or the car companies factories.

I hate the Green Peace group, They say "STOP COAL AND GAS NOW AND FIND A SAFER ALTERNATIVE" Then the Govenment suggest Nuclear and they say "NUCLEAR POWER IS A KILLER".

Only thing ive EVER agreed with this govenment on is that Nuclear Power is the way forward.

PS: Labour still sawks though

Hahaha, they're well cool. And power stations.... how can Wind Turbines be ugly compared to them.

just like to add that the "smoke" coming out of the nuclear power station is actually water vapour. There are positives and negatives to both sources of power like you need lots of wind turbines in windy places to provide a decent amount of energy and when you decomission the nuclear power plant the land it was on cannot be used for 50 years due to radiation. Either way there is a good argument for and against nuclear and wind types of energy.
