While I'm a strong supporter of nuclear power, I do concede that it will cost a fair bit to build, however the benefits it brings I believe are substantial. In addition to the environmental factors, consider the decreased distribution costs (i.e. if it were built just outside Auckland, we wouldn't have the issues with the pylon debate in Waikato). And hey - we have one of the worlds largest producers of Uranium right next door. |

Once it's up and running the upkeep costs aren't huge though are they? |

| 567231 | 2007-07-10 05:55:00 | Look what happened in Auckland when "upkeep cost" of an underground cable wasn't high enough. The costs of "economy" of maintenance can be quite high. When the choice is between return to shareholders and maintenance, who's going to win? After all, the costs of a nuclear "accident" are so large that a private company can't be expected to cover them; that's left to the taxpayers. :thumbs: |

Let us remember that a person waving a flag was used to precede the first trains and were considered to be dangerous. No good expecting resident socialist to embrace new technology. |

| 567235 | 2007-07-10 21:55:00 | Anyone see the program on Discovery/Nat (1 of the 2) last night on future energy solutions? They had the Dutch Wind farm on there, also water turbines in a river that get turned by the tide, a real water fusion generator which allegedly once perfected , 1 bucket of water will convert to enough power for all of 1 persons needs needs for 30 yrs?! They also feature some stuff called 'gas hydrate', which is gas trapped in water and compressed. Its like concentrated gas right, apparently there is heaps of it at the bottom of the sea, enough to power all of earths current needs for 30,000 yrs. I have no idea where they got that fihure, however the program was very interesting. |
