Jut watched that vid. It's mental. Why do we need so much nuclear testing? I understand the need for some, but why do the Americans need to set off over a thousand? And presumably more. Im just glad that it seems to have calmed down the past 20 years or so. It just seems to be a way to show off a country's prowess. What is the best deterrent for someone nuking you? Have nukes of your own.
Also the cause of cancer it may not be, but nobody can tell me that it isn't having some sort of adverse affect on our planet. You only have to look to space to see the power that radiation holds, it can destroy planets, it can also last for a really, really long time.
I do think that nuclear fusion holds the key to a lot of our planets energy problems, but it also posses a massive risk. Can you imagine if someone with the mind set of a terrorist could get hold of something like this. Let's be honest the information is all there, you just need someplace big enough to put the information to use.
It's not just the immediate blast that's frightening, what if someone detonated one about a mile above the U.K. That's an EMP right there, no power and depending on the height and intensity of the blast, that could wipe out the entire country's power grid.
So in conclusion, nuclear power is a power that should only be held by people who respect it for what it is. A tool to help the human race, because if someone had the inclination, opportunity, and the money it could change everything for everyone in a very bad way.
At least it's been a year and a half ago since this was last posted and not somthing from last week.
