I've
always found the nuclear programs suspect. Thank goodness we are
quickly moving away from traditional power stations in the world
that burn fossil
fuels such as coal,
oil, and
natural gas
to generate electricity, and some use nuclear
power, but there is an increasing use of cleaner renewable
sources such as solar,
wind, wave
and hydroelectric,
and other non-carbon
alternatives, many in research and development stages.
Since
I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, an area that will also be
affected by a now overdue
Cascadia Subduction Zone Megaquake, and recently found that the
United States nuclear
bomb
assembly station at the Hanford
Site, Hanford,
Washington was built upon a geologic fault, where nuclear
reactors line the riverbank at the Hanford Site along the Columbia
River.
