Social - Nuclear Power (Australian Nature Live)

"Nuclear Power, our rights or our responsibilities?"

There are some who will tell you that nuclear power is clean and safe.

If it is so safe then why is it that we must guard the waste for the next quarter of a million years?
If we do not guard this deadly, boiling waste and keep it away from all humans and all other living creatures that we might care for, then the consequences will start to show. It would become normal for people to die of leukaemia and other cancers, and it appears that there is an increase in deformed babies around the areas where nuclear waste has leaked.

Have you ever considered that if the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks or Romans had used uranium as we do, then this world would be a very very dangerous place in which to live.

Even if we stop using nuclear power now and add no more to the stockpiles of waste, the children for the next 250 thousand years must guard thousands and thousands of tons of our deadly nuclear waste, just to try and keep the planet safe.

They must guard it at great cost and danger to themselves and yet they will gain no benefits from it whatsoever. But they will live in a much more dangerous world because of our actions.
How would you like somebody to leave you in that situation?

Any person who talks about the rights of the unborn child but refuses to also take these facts into account is no more than a selfish little pig slurping at the trough.
