Nuclear Waste: Small in Volume, Big in Energy Discussions | OilPrice.com

Oil Price

“Nuclear power is a safe, clean source of energy, making it a critical part of the clean energy transition, but nuclear waste remains a concern.” ~ Oil Price Oil and Energy News

The statement above is a headline and lead-in to an article by Oil Price today. It plainly demonstrates the serious problems with natural resource language and misleading propaganda. These news organizations seem to magically talk out of both sides of their mouths at the same time. If nuclear energy and its waste is a concern, how can it be safe and clean at the same time? I see this kind of vailed ambiguity all the time in nuclear energy news. It is disgusting and it is intentionally deceiving.

I see constantly see underestimated costs and timeliness of both creating and operating a nuclear power plant. The latest new one, in Georgia, had an overrun in their 1st of 2 units of Georgia nuclear rebirth arrives 7 years late, $17B over cost. And who has to pay for it? The public consumers. Nuclear energy is neither safe nor clean and it is definitely not cheap. ~llaw
