You're gonna get a lot of stuff for that. Even I don't agree with half of that stuff, and I'd vote for the guy if I was 18.

The problem with nuclear waste isn't the amount, it's how long it last and the risk of contaminating the environment and hurting humans' health. Right now the United States doesn't have anywhere to put nuclear waste. It just sits in a swimming pool in the power plant.
That is entirely incorrect. See: last page

doesn't that bother you that a man running for president banks against america?
There's numerous reasons one would have a swiss bank account. Only one of them is total lack of faith in America's banking system.

listen, if we put up a lot of nuclear power plants we're going to have a lot of waste and at some point we won't have anywhere to put it, an i don't like that idea
Human innovation is an amazing thing. We always develop solutions.

sounds a little too good to be true
is that nuclear?
Yeah, it pretty much cleans everything because of it's process. I know it's legit because it's an actual company I researched and invested in, didn't get too bad of a return.. (VLNX)

i never said undivided attention, what
we're nearing a depression-like economy. i just want romney, if he does get into office, to help the environment instead of shrug it off
I don't think it's particularly important at the moment but I agree that it's a matter that needs attending to sooner rather than later.

also, reason why i don't support romney: he owns a swiss bank account
..so?

and when that gets full?
Then they expand the site, there's a whole lot of open desert in New Mexico or wherever that site is.

The actual Libertarian candidate is Gary Johnson, he actully seems like a pretty cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything, but sadly he probably doesn't have a chance.
I believe they funded RP too.

nuclear waste is not something to take lightly. get back to me once they've invented nuclear fusion and mayble i'll consider it being a valid source of energy instead of a time bombokay yeah i was being pretty melodramatic
this.
Quote from: page
The unit is capable of converting up to 5 tons per day of hazardous wastes and other matter into syngas, net electricity, recyclable metal ingot, without any air emissions or ash from the gasification process.

It was developed for Japan's nuclear waste mess.

but are you going to completely deny the fact that we're loving up the earth? i don't care about burning natural gas, i'm talking about fracking
No, we're damaging the earth, but it's not something that needs our immediate and undivided attention, especially as a country. It's not the government's job to tell power companies how to produce their energy.

Neither parties support Ron Paul, so it's nearly impossible. At least I think so.. correct me if I'm wrong. But he looked like he had good ideas. Didn't pay much attention to him though, because I think we all knew it would come down to Obama and Romney.
Ron Paul is a libertarian, so he's endorsed by the libertarian party. It doesn't have a ton of following in America but it's actually increasing since people are sick of the stuff we're getting from republicans and democrats.

I would vote for Obama because Mitt Romney's "values" kind of suck. I don't mean to sound like a friend here, but I think Ron Paul would be better than Obama or Romney, too bad no one votes for him "because he can't win."
That doesn't make you sound like a friend, it's true.

Romney implied he's not going to help move forward funding for stuff like clean energy and saving the environment in general and that might seem all fine and dandy to you, but i want my children to live in an america where they won't have to wear a gas mask whenever they go outside, or live next to a fracking sight which releases thousands of poisonous toxins so that natural gas companies can get their fix.
Nuclear energy is the solution to all our problems, it's extremely efficient and produces way less toxic byproduct per kilojoule than traditional combustion plants, and the toxic byproduct can be cleaned into nontoxic particles for relatively little money. The only problem is people don't want to build nuclear power plants because they're so loving expensive to build because of all the government regulations. Now, I'm not saying we should let people build nuclear power plants with no regulations, so don't get up on me about that.

As far as your apocalyptic future idea goes, that makes no logical sense. The pollution levels would have to be so high to require a gas mask it's not even worth thinking about. The day won't come for at least a hundred years, at which point we'll have tons of technology developed by companies, not the government, to clean pollution. The government doesn't need their hand in everything.

By the way, natural gas combusts into water and CO2. Burning it doesn't pollute the environment, at best it increases the greenhouse effect by a super minor amount, and that's a whole different issue that I can rant about.

because it doesn't work
You're wrong.

No what I mean is we shouldn't just neglect them. Sure there's more pressing issues, but we shouldn't just destroy a big part of the environment just because it's not in the U.S.
There's literally nothing we can do about that that would improve anything, the only thing we could actually do is put a tariff on imported wood and paper which would be an awful thing to do.

Rain forests need attention, they're pretty important.
Last time I checked, America doesn't have rainforests.

No, give me a real answer. That way I can tell you why we shouldn't burn money on it.
