NUCLEAR ENERGY, OR WHAT ELSE NEXT ?

Politicians are running around like headless chickens !!!  They seem to be more interested in their Political Ideals than in the realities of everyday life.

Just because nature has provoked a serious problem in Japan with respect to Nuclear Reactors, which provide an increasing quantity of electricity in this modern world, should the world abandon Nuclear Reactors ?   Should everyone go back to wood and coal fires ?  The political idealists and "Greens" of this world must have a rethink !!!

A problem has surfaced in Japan, it was an accident !!!  No reasonable person would cover-up such a problem if he knew or understood the implications !!!  There have been many "accidents" in the course of scientific history, which afterwards led to important discoveries which are now cherished and admired.

Probes into space are littered with "mistakes" which finally permitted scientists to understand and correct faults !!!   The same will be true with respect to what scientists will identify as errors when analising the catastrophy in Japan.

Several countries, like France, the USA, Germany and Russia will closely follow events !!!  These countries will all want to learn and to prevent the possibility of a similar castastrophy arising in their countries.    

When the first airplane was being developed, and after it crashed, did the pioneers give up ?
