Not much more I can say that others have said. My question is, what has where we live anything to do with playing video games and tieing it to the Japan disaster?

Comparison of possible cultural/societal influences?

That is what I thought but if we don't know what country voted for what, it sort of misses the point then. How do we know from all those in NA voted No or Yes?

Thats nice, so are alot of people.

I feel no guilt for playing and you shouldn't either. Games get touchy on alot of subjects that I'm familiar with and have even experienced.

Like GT409, the events in Japan have me more concerned with natural disasters than nuclear fallout.

I dont like nuclearpower, mostly for the potential ecodisasters in making the fuel and disposing the waste.
Also uranium isnt limitless, and not renewable at all (even oil will in theory be renewed in some millions of years.)
Breaking the ore is causing leaks wether they are big enough to be counted as ecodisaters I dont know.

The thing is that coal and oil is so much worse. Climatechange isnt a myth people.

The safest would be cutting our energy consumtion to a level where we can relay on safe energy. But that would probably mean goodbye to a lot stuff we gotten used to. "Do we use the energy for heating, trains or metalproduction. Hey why isnt internet and the LHC closed down yet. We need that power for the hospitals."
And I think every country would have to adopt Chinas 2 parents 1 child policy for a few generations.

Really? you think WWII vets think it's fine that that bloodbath is now a source of entertainment? Of course not, you can't say one is fine but the other isn't, they are exactly the same thing. i don't have a problem with it personally, but don't try to separate them because they deal with different time periods, the core theme is exactly the same.

Some do, some don't. WWII Vets is a group with a wide variety of people who had a wide variety of experiences. You can't really generalize about them, other than that they were all in WWII. :shrug:

Right, this one I'm speaking up about.

Did you know that there are places in scotland you could never build a nuclear plant in, because they're already above the safe limit? And people live there?

How about this one: The radiation leaked by the disaster at three mile island was less than one BED - banana equivalent dose. The dose of radiation you would get from eating a banana every day for a year. In meltdown.
Under normal operation, a coal plant leaks more radiation than a nuclear plant.

New nuclear plants should be built because new-technology plants are significantly safer and more efficient - if japan had used new-tech plants instead of ones older than chernobyl (Why didn't they upgrade? Anti-nuclear lobbyists, actually!) nobody would even have noticed. Even so, the plants themselves came out fine, it was the power infrastructure, and thus active cooling, that failed. New-tech plants can cool off entirely passively, requiring no external power source.

So nuclear power isn't perfect - what is? Solar? Well, look at the environmental impacts of creating and maintaining solar cells - it's significant. Per-MW it's higher than nuclear. They all are. They're not clean forms of energy at all, they just have the bad bits in construction, not generation. We will not have truly clean energy until nuclear fusion, and even 'renewable' energy sources, if scaled up to the entire planet, would start causing serious environmental issues - because if you take a good chunk of energy out of the ecosystem, do you think nobody will notice? The sunlight falling onto the ground isn't 'wasted', the wind flying through the air isn't 'wasted'. If we scaled current technology for renewable energies up to planetary scale we would seriously affect the entire planet, far more than a little nuclear waste - most of which can be reused as a high-density power source for *other* reactors. Thorium plants produce no dangerous waste, but nuclear waste is actually quite useful, and we already have a lot of plants, so adoption isn't instant.

tl;dr, nuclear is our best current source of power, and the thing that's going to carry us towards fusion.
