A clear view to anything but fosile generated power is our way to go. Newclear power with enriched uranium contain a posibilty for leaks of radiactivity. There are however, this stuff called "thorium" that can be used instead of uranium. This contain a very different way to generatte power and there are no chance of pollution what so ever. For example, Norway, has enough thorium to supply the nation for 10.000 years (estimated by scientists working with this issue. There are no risk of leaks, meltdown or other fears that we think of with uranium powerplants. So why is this apparently not on any agenda? The scientists in Zern that is developing a layout for future use of this technology fails to get the long-time-thinking activists and goverments to concider this possibility to get rid of coal and uranium powerplants. There is simply not enough engagement for saving our childrens future. I am very positive to thorium as fuel for powering up the needs of the future.
