GROVER CURES HOUSE posted:As extremely poisonous heavy metals, yes. Anything highly radioactive will stop being highly radioactive very quickly because it's highly radioactive. I don't think highly radioactive material is more dangerous than low-radioactive because of some perceived Elephant's Foot instant death. The less radioactive, long half-life stuff can be extremely deadly when it is allowed to spread into the environment. It's not exactly something you can immediately produce "yeah this is really bad" results for either, but when any kind of ionizing radiation gets into a human body, it can have devastating effects. Nuclear fission in it's current form is:

 : Solar, wind, wave, tidal, geothermal are all really good energy sources that should be used instead of fossil fuels. : Green energy already exists, it's called nuclear.

Ionizing radiation is provably very dangerous to the human body, especially if it's ingested or taken inside your digestive/respiratory/circulatory systems. http://www.epa.gov/radiation/understand/health_effects.html

computer parts posted:Literally nothing is renewable if nuclear isn't. "Uranium-235 is a finite non-renewable resource." Is there something in this sentence you think is incorrect? Maybe you want to talk about breeder reactors and afterwards we can discuss converting our cars to run purely on water.

Things that are cheaper rarely end up being better. I wonder how many solar plants or wind farms could be built with the $100 Billion the US government still had to spend as of 2014 to clean up the Hanford site. http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/etox/resources/case_studies/hanford.pdf

Out of all technologies right now, batteries are most in need some kind of major breakthrough. Like maybe a higher temperature superconductor to make SMES units a viability. Or anything that can replace the basic lithium batteries which have been around in, more or less, the same form since the 1970s.
