Fuel too. I don't get what the big deal is. We've been buying Russian nukes for fuel for a couple of decades. NASA used Plutonium reactors in long range spacecraft.

It was just one of yesterday's memes.

The HEU will down-mixed to make nuclear fuel for power plants. The plutonium will be stored securely by DOE just like they store our own plutonium. Moreover, the Japanese will be paying us to take it off their hands, while removing it from possible diversion to illicit weapons programs. This is a good thing, unless you're too feckin' ignorant to understand it as such.

Indeed. 'Conspiracy Theories' is where this thread belongs.

It's all washing up on California's shores already. What's changed?

No please Japan don't give us that free energy source. I bet Obama's behind this. What's the big theory 4-2-7? Is Obama bringing it here to blow us all up?

Good point, All that energy is washing onto our shores forever.
Such a strange group here, can't have a pipeline and burn oil. However we can store other countries nuk wast.

The situation re-poses the need to develop sustainable energy policies that encourage efficiency and conservation. Once nuke looked good ("too cheap to meter", they said) but the unintended consequences and delaying unsolved problem complications to a future solution that has yet to appear has only highlighted the difficulties. Solar, as the primary source of energy for most natural processes (evaporation/precipitation= hydro, wind turbines, tidal/wave generation, ect), is still the most promising, and geo-thermal the most intriguing if only the whole world looked like Iceland. It's essential to remember that electricity is a converted transmission and storage mode of energy, it needs a source in order to appear. Basing anything in electric gadgetry must that that into account, likewise for hydrogen as a fuel. AFAIK, only Iceland could economically produce hydrogen for fuel from abundant geothermal generation/ electrolytic conversion.
