Another interesting debate from Davos- nuclear power/ proliferation and consequences…
There was an Iranian (Larijani) on the panel- interesting views. On a question on Iran's views on Israel- he made a point about anti-semitism being a western notion…
Brahma was emphatic about the cost of nuclear power not beign articulated well enough- the specific points were that the nuclear industry did not need to pay for the collateral costs of nuclear power- ex liability damages, cost of retiring plans, radioactive material management and storage, R&D etc… and hence the true costs of nuclear power would never justify the benefits.
Bad news for me! In todays world, I am sorta hoping that alternates to fossil fuels are perhaps the most cutial- and before solar/ wind become wide spread, there needs to be some bridging sources like nuclear power- if that aint it, what else is? And what will good ole india and china do?
