This is on twitter too, and illustrates why we need to stop with oil NOW.

Well not just nuclear. There is wind, solar ,hydrogen,electric and bio fuels that. We can make plastics / polymers from plants, We need investment in chemistry so we can develop new sustainable materials.

@Binkle @zleap

Nuclear is the nigger of the energy world. Much maligned, but not nearly as dangerous as right-wingers make it out to be.

@troonigger @Binkle

I agree, there has been very few accidents involving nuclear power, wasn't the most recent fukushima, which was due to an earthquake.

@zleap i dont think we can make polymers from plants on the scale that we would need

@valleyforge This is why we need to do more research, if the will s there we will find a way.

When the Wright brothers flew the first plan would anyone have guessed that within a few decades people would be walking on the moon and flying at super sonic speed.

@Binkle @valleyforge

I think bioplastics are made from plants and simply break down, again perhaps this is another area of research we need.

We need to figure out if the current bioplastic are indeed as safe as the claims are,.

Again more areas of research, the next generation has a lot to keep busy on, just study STEM and help reshape your own future.

But I like french fries, onion rings and other oil-fried food!!
