Homes go Nuclear? This Sounds Like a Bad Idea to me…
Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate Agent
I came across this article the other day and I was greatly concerned. I wont lie. I don’t like nuclear fission. It is messy and poses great potential risk. There is still no way to clean up the spent fuel and as such I don’t see why we would be pursuing this technology. It certainly seems to have a great potential for disaster. Chernobyl anyone? I don’t want to see a giant dome of concrete in my lifetime thats for sure.
Well that doesn’t seem to have stopped one ambitious company that not only wants to pursue fission technology, they want to miniaturize it and make it more readily available. I know that smaller, more controlled reactions are much safer and this certainly is safer than larger reactors but there is still risk. I for one am not worried about terrorists but for those that are, our current nuclear plants are completely unguarded. Creating more seems very risky to me.
But I guess this is a case of the good, the bad and the ugly. The good is that it seems to be cheap and less of a carbon footprint. The bad is that, well fission is just bad. The ugly is that while this might be less carbon than some alternative energies, the plutonium footprint is huge! That was a small joke but seriously nuclear waste from these things is going to pose a health risk forever.
Well if the article is right I guess we will see in 5 years.
