When wil this austerity madness end!

Funny that...you never actually post a link do you...
Softus would be so proud of his 'young apprentice'...
What a load of b*llocks..
'being' devised?...I thought you said earlier "nuclear power has had many advancements, waste is now a further fuel"..
The barrier is actually a concept called radioactive half life...
So your arguments are to be filed under the 'half witted' category
Really?
I could list a whole load of 'accidents', but then you could of course google them couldn't you..
And I guess nothing happened during the japanese tsunami did it?...
What technology?
Google it yourself 'soft in the head'...
But lets just say it's the equivalent to almost 3p on the basic rate of tax for as long as you wish to predict...
Just a thought but has anyone heard of THORIUM. this substance can be used in reactors to make electricity the same uranium and its by products can. It however doesn't have the same characteristics as uranium won't become unstable like happened in japan following their flood. I don't believe the waste is as toxic although some is created.
Why aren't we using this amazing substance whose properties have been know about since 1890. Well at the end of ww2 a professor approached the American atomic energy commission with the plans for a working reactor model. Why wasn't it adopted but thrown in the bin? Because the yanks had already decided to go down the uranium route. Why? Because one of the by products of using uranium is plutonium, and where is plutonium used? Why in weapons. So all the radioactive waste and potentially catasrophic diasasters with nuclear energy is a result of wanted to blow the planet and ourselves into little pieces several times over.
Does the Thorium idea work? Ask India they are currently building a reactor probably with our aid money, funny isn't it.

Because frankly, I can't be arsed.
This is all stuff you can google in about .5 nanoseconds, generally I do link to stuff if it is more obscure, but not when you can literally copy and paste what I said and hit "enter.
Trying to hard.
It's an evolving field, many advancements have been made, and many in the pipeline.
Again, you can google many papers on work being done to turn old nuclear waste into "new" fuel, and you can find example of already existing techs, and as Hi1 mentions there is thorium.
You could list a whole load of accidents, now list how many actually had any real impact (not political), "Chernobyl" is not a list.
And I guess nothing happened during the japanese tsunami did it?...
This would be the nuke station that was designed for an 8.something earthquake, but was exposed to a 9. something earthquake, AND a tsunami.
And leaked comparatively little radiation http://xkcd.com/radiation/
I did google it actually, but I still couldn't find without searching too hard, what time frame that cost was over, how much of it was to be paid by the government, what costs were directly due to nuclear, (All power plants have decommissioning costs, so how much of the cleanup is the various chemicals and other bit's that are not unique to nuke), and the other costs such as decommissioning pits for coal vs nuke for instance. It's all well and good saying "it costs 70bn" but it's a bit useless without comparison.
And of course you are not talking out of your bum, so I am sure you can easily find this information as you already read about it.

And you go on to blame the Tories. While I too despise the Tories, you can't blame them for the Eurozone crisis any more than you can Labour.
But I can't see this lot lasting much longer.

does that include your house value being cut in at least half??

it's sadly a certainty. unrealistic interest rates... sorry guys it must happen at some time, and it will really hurt to those with mortgages.

in the macro economy maybe, but on a personal level, it will utterly destroy the housing market.
Yeah what good are houses? You can't export them.
I've no sympathy on people with huge mortgages in negative equity getting shafted by banksters.
Their own greed put them where they are today.
You don't see the chinese or indians buying and selling mud huts to each other for extortionate prices.
I'm quite happy for my home to drop to quarter its value.
I know one mug who had an ole run down council house on a mortgage for £70k and the estage agent offered him £170k for it just before the crash. He turned his nose up at the offer.
Well house prices were set in concrete, were they not?
Anyways he's stuck with it now. I wouldn't give £40k for it let alone £70k.

Not sure about that kind of drop, but I'd be happy if my properties lost their value sufficiently in order that the precise inheritance tax threshold is met. I know that taxes are essential, but there's something about taxing a dead person's belongings which doesn't really seem right nor fair.

About time the housing market became a Home Owning market - not a playground for would-be speculatorsI`m so Red I make Red Ken look pale pink
its not that. it's a certainty.... its the elephant in the room.
