Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace supports Nukes
Greenpeace founder supports nuclear energy - Wikinews
As does James Lovelock
James Lovelock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"'I have never regarded nuclear radiation or nuclear power as anything other than a normal and inevitable part of the environment. Our prokaryotic forebears evolved on a planet-sized lump of fallout from a star-sized nuclear explosion, a supernova that synthesised the elements that go to make our planet and ourselves.'"
My opinion is that “old nukes” were managed by “coal plant” style managers, not “nuclear navy” or “Rickenbacker” style managers. In other words sticklers for safety.
How long before Google goes for it's own nukes to power server farms/data centers?
I, Cringely . The Pulpit . When Being a Verb is Not Enough | PBS:
"Google is building a LOT of data centers. The company appears to be as attracted to cheap and reliable electric power as it is to population proximity. In Goose Creek they bought those 520 acres from the local state-owned electric utility, which probably answers the land question posed above. By buying out all the remaining building sites in an industrial park owned by an electric utility, Google guarantees itself a vast and uninterruptible supply of power, much as it has done in Oregon by building a data center next to a hydroelectric dam or back here again in Columbia by building near a nuclear power station."
