Here ya go - the Pope wants mmgw to fix the global economy and help the poor

Which equally isn't completely viable now. It's also not going to get loads of public support after chernobyl/fukushima. Solar, on the other hand, is providing a nice 7% return for local community investors
Did you see some of the public opinion polls I've posted? I'm talking in a perfect world here. I don't want to public's misconceptions influencing scientific issues.
France is doing a pretty good job with Nuclear power, right?

It's doing ok, and they, along with china, are investing in nuclear power in the UK.
While in an ideal world we shouldn't be swayed by public opinion on these matter, we need to be realistic about what is achievable. If you get $1bn for nuclear funding, or $5bn for solar funding, it would be irresponsible to go with the former if the latter can produce better returns.

I agree with Chris. Nuclear power waste is a gigantic problem.
It causes global warming, and we can't have that.
And the safety isn't guaranteed, and what happens with accumulated waste
buried deep underground? Let's not poison our entire planet over time.

Pack it in rockets and send it to Mars

No, in a few million years, mankind will have left earth and
moved there. Send it into the sun so it will keep burnin....
-
I don't want to think of the ramifications of screwing with the sun. Send it out into deep space.
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -
Deep space? Which brings to mind a question - if we sent it into deep space,
and it never hits any other planet or object... might it just swing around and come
right back at us ?
Or, might it hit a civilized planet in another solar system, and they get all liberally po'd,
and flying saucer fly here, invade our planet, and try to wipe our all life on our planet
with their little pink hankies?
I'm working too hard. I still have about 42 trees, at least, to cut up for firewood,
fence to put up around the giant garden, and went to the farmer's market, came home
just in time to get in the house before the dark clouds let loose with tons of rain and high
winds, about 60 mph. Then, my Wifie looks out the window and says - uhoh, our green house
is open. So, I go out there, shut one door, close and block the vent, and when I try to shut
the other door, a giant gust of wind and rain throws the door back open and I go blackwards.
Then, I finally got the second door shut and latched, and I was completely soaked halfway
to the greenhouse in the first place, and went to go back to our house, and it hailed.
60 mph rain, and hail and wind, and braches being broken off of trees, and leaves.
The neighbors' trampoline was thrown vertical and against their deck, and was bent and
twisted.
And, after I did get back to the house, we got a cell phone call - it was about the tornado warning.
Yep. Missed us by less than a mile.

No. It won't get to the end of space and come back at us. And chances are it won't ever hit a populated planet, ever, and if it does, bad luck for them.
-
Even though there is a hypothetical edge of space it would be impossible for something to ever catch up with it let alone overtake it. If you could you would come back to the other side of the universe, but it is theoretically impossible, even factoring in any FTL 'loopholes' such as wormholes and spacetime warping because ultimmately you have to go ftl at some point.

Right, "if". I do not know all of the costs, energy savings, etc, but I'd imagine Nuclear Power has a high start up cost but a high rate of return. $1b in Nuclear Power could produce more energy than $5b in solar. I am not sure though. But yes, if those were your two options, all else equal, you'd go with the better return on investment.

"If" we didn't have time zones
The entire planet would be better off

I'm going to invent a scientific deep space boomerang theory. Sure, I'll find some data.
In space, surely, eventually, an object would turn along with different gravities. Then,
if it turned enough, it could work it's way back to where it came from.

On public opinion for things like Nuclear Power...

Sure, if you aimed it at the sun almost it can slingshot back round. But space is very sparse.

Leave it to woodypeckerhead to ridicule all those lives lost on 9/11, all their relatives and friends,
1/4 of all Americans (allegedly - nonsense), and all those people with learning disabilities with a slur based upon
a smartass adult cartoon.
Live doesn't revolve around a cartoon, asswipe woodpecker - you really are the butt of this board.

Space is SPARCE?
Wait, space is infinite. I mean, it doesn't have an end. If it did,
what would be beyond the end?
More space.... !

Great question.......and Id think this is a realistic possibility......while rocketing waste out of our solar system isn't........
Consider this:....ALL things in our solar system are held in place by the gravity of our sun.....so if we were to just launch waste into space, it would likely remain in our solar system and start it's own orbit....around something....somewhere.....
If it developed a larger eliptical orbit, it could come back in a year......a thousand years.....or even 100,000 years.....a good example of this would be comets and asteroids, which have proven to maintain huge solar orbits and calculated return paths for centuries......
So, the only way to avoid the waste going into a dangerous orbit around the sun, is to send it beyond(outside) our solar system, which right now, we dont even have the capacity to do.....and the cost and fuel required would be completely outrageous....it would require mega million dollar space ships and even more fuel to dispose of it than the original fuel that was used to make the waste...if that makes sense......
so, building a long distance rocket and fueling it up...to carry how much waste?....over and over again?.....no way....

Most dangerous person in the world? No, not the head of ISIS, not Putin, the pope. Right.

FWIW, I like the black guy there - I guess he's some kind of preacher? Not sure.
-
The black guy is Juan Williams the liberal Fox hired when he got fired from the tolerant liberal NPR when he strayed from liberal thought and said something they didn't like.
-
When the stereotypical fox conspiracy-theory guy was going on about the cult of malthus, pope being a marxist, and the other stuff, this guy impressed me by saying "couldn't the pope just be saying let's take better care of god's green planet?"
But nope, the pope's a marxist and must be stopped. Most dangerous man in the world.
