Old nuclear weapons generate electricity
According to the New York Times around 10 percent of the US electricity is provided by old nuclear bombs, including Russian ones. I find very inspiring that weapons once targeting houses are now powering them.
These agreements concern thousands of warheads and are part of a non proliferation policy enacted by both countries. With up to 5,000 nuclear warheads, there is enough plutonium to generate electricity for 50 years.
However these agreements – known as Megatons to Megawatts – are due to expire in 2013. I hope it will continue after. This is to me the 11th reason to support nuclear.
