Global Warming (The Greenhouse Effect)

LetÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s start farming in buildings because that is one of the biggest space wasters on earth. We could free up huge amounts of space if we farmed animals in building's or done hydroponicsÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ in buildings. Let's start thinking about space wasted as a whole before we complain about nuclear waste. Proposed solutions to nuclear waste include using mountain sides which are of no use for us to build on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What do you mean reactors last for 50 years (is that from Sim City 2000 or something)? Reactors could last longer a lot longer if properly maintained, the fuel used in reactors are removable these days hence you don't need to build a whole new building if you want more power, just replace the fuel rods. Just like a car, you fill it the tank up with more fuel instead of buying a whole new car.

 

 

 

I guess reactors would last less then 50 years because technology would render the old reactors uneconomical. Who uses 50 year old cars or computers (even homes need renovations to stay useful)?

 

 

 

Once you put all the radioactive material in safe containers your free to remove the building since it's not radioactive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hmmm i was mostly talking to the other guy, but yes i relize that reactors last longer becase they feed off of uranium.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How is farming a waste? without farming, we cant live. We could never grow as good vegetables indoors, or breed animals in there as well as we could in farms. I know Canada has only 7% farming soil. 7%! I think that that area should be kept as farming becase of the amount of recources it gives us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And in summery about the wind and soaler power, yes i realize that i will take years to get a very good return on it. But im thinking in the long run. If Houses are being built, more reactors need to be built to accomadate all the power. And i remember seeing on discovery, that all residental and comercial buildings, must be kept atleast 30 miles away from the reactor to help protect against radiation, and if it exploded. Thats a 60 mile diamiter circk which cannot be built in. And thats a big wast of space.

"The creative minds behind a Dutch government report - visionary to some, scary to others - suggest just this for a site at Rotterdam within spitting distance of mainland Europe's largest port.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The scale is vast: imagine 10 football fields laid out in a rectangle, roughly 1km by 400 metres, and then six floors of equal area, a total of 200 hectares (500 acres) stretching skywards. Within the building would be animal production, aquaculture, vegetable and insect growing. The complex, known as Deltapark envisages 300,000 pigs, 1.2m chickens, tens of thousands of fish and a giant vegetable growing area all under one roof." - Farming is a waste of floor space when you can stack it on top of each other without losing anything. Ohh no the animals arenÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t on the ground? It just makes no sense, after all we sit inside buildings all day and we are just as much an animal as they are.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't know about you but our nuclear reactor is about 2 kilometresÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ (~1mile) away from residential buildings and about 17km (~10 miles) away from me. It's probably that far away because it's on top of a hill and on government property, land that isn't too keen for development.

 

 

 

Yes it's small and probably wouldn't do too much damage but it's nowhere near the 30 miles youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re talking about.
