Flash drive broke-.- Need a way to get info from point a to point b... So, seriously go away! For Nuclear Power -Show that nuclear energy is vital toward shifting away from fossil fuels (renewables can't possibly sustain us alone) Wind at its best can only account for around 20% of the US’s current energy demand, solar panels can only account for around 10% of the US’s current energy demands, and hydro electric is nearly currently maxed out at around 8% of the US’s energy demand. Renewables in their most extreme usage could only account for about 40% of the US’s energy demands total. If we were to completely shift away from fossil fuels than the remaining 60% would most likely have to be nuclear. -Show that nuclear weapon scare is unrealistic (Nuclear power plants cannot produce or refine weapon grade uranium) and that it is not a terrorist target Fear that terrorists will target nuclear power plants is completely unfounded. Nuclear fuel, and its waste have both been proven unsuitable for nuclear weaponry, and terrorists already have much more devastating targets that would undermine the chance of terrorist attacks such as liquid natural gas plants. Nuclear plants house the reactor in a six foot thick concrete storage container for just such occasion. -Show relative longevity of competing renewable power generators proving nuclear is not overpriced (nuclear powerplants are now estimated last 80 years where solar panels last 30 and wind turbines last 25 years) Nuclear plants were thought to have a life time of 40 years, but modern advancements, and repair of worn down parts may allow nuclear powerplants to double their life time to a near 80 years as opposed to solar panels which last around 30 years, and wind turbines which only last about 25 years. -Show nuclear waste turned to additional fuel with hardly any radiation issue ('Nuclear waste' can be altered to produce plutonium which can be used for more nuclear fission with shorter nuclear half lives) Advancements show that ‘waste’ from nuclear power plants can be altered and reused as fuel for the nuclear power plants relatively soon. The waste product would be altered to plutonium which releases substantially more energy than the original uranium. Best of all, the waste from the plutonium fuel would lose its radioactive threat after only 400 years as opposed to 20,000 years. -Show that common fears of nuclear explosion or mortality as a result of nuclear power plants are unfounded Many people are afraid of a nuclear explosion if something were to go wrong in a nuclear power plant. The energy released from the uranium is too low and the uranium is too diluted for an explosion to possibly occur. Only 3 small incidents have occurred in the past 11 years due to nuclear power, and no deaths have been recorded. The largest nuclear failure, which occurred in Chernobyl, killed a mere 56 people and may be the cause of 1,000 cases of cancer years from now. It was tragic, but deaths linked to poor air quality as the result of burning fossil fuels and the processing of said fossil fuels is estimated to be about 800,000 deaths per year! -Show how unreliable and inconstantly electricity is produced with solar and wind Wind and solar energy do not produce a constant flow of electricity. When we flip a light switch we expect it to turn on, not fizzle out because it’s an overcast day and the winds aren’t blowing! Even if we were to meet the demands with solely wind and solar power backup generators would be necessary when conditions aren’t ideal. Excess electricity produced cannot be readily stored in large quantities either. You simply cannot rely on such a fickle and unstable energy source for a large percentage of your electricity. Against Nuclear Power The world needs more renewable energy sources, not an unstable, bomb promoting, radiation producing mess. -Show wind turbines can be placed offshore to accommodated for national electricity demands Should demand call for it, more area for wind energy can be located. Wind generators could be placed in windy parts of the ocean to remove land based complications of wind farms. Wind travels faster along the ocean, and combined with other renewable such as solar, can tackle our energy crisis without producing waste that remains harmful for over 10,000 years. -Show that nuclear waste disposal and transportation is too dangerous Nuclear waste transportation is another huge issue being thrown aside. Every day trains carrying tons of nuclear waste travel the rails. What should happen if one of those trains were to derail? Did you think the gulf oil spill was bad? Imagine trying to locate millions of lost pellets each of which is dangerous for many thousands of years. Trains, trucks, and even boats carry away nuclear waste. Is it really worth the risk? -Show how expensive nuclear power is, and how long building and prospecting for nuclear power is vs renewable power sources. Nuclear power takes an average of 10-19 years to go from planning to operational. We do not have 10-19 years to wait around for nuclear energy to remove or at least lessen the abundance of fossil fuels. Solutions to coal power plants need to come now, and they can be achieved through wind and solar. Wind and solar take a mere 2-5 years to become operational. More nuclear power isn’t the solution. We need alternative energy now. -Show how limited a resource uranium is Uranium for nuclear power plants is not a limitless resource. At current consumption rate, the uranium supply is expected to last only 30-60 more years depending on the demand. Fossil fuels must be replaced by something constant, not something that will only last another 30-60 years. -Show that wind and other renewables are the better choice, and that all nuclear accomplishes is prolonging the renewable energy revolution Renewable energy has the potential to support us indefinitely. Nuclear does not. The world needs a solution to CO2 emissions. It does not need a substitute.

I dont care what they say the best game is I know that deep in my heart theres tanki online and i love it more tham some cheap Farmerama or whatever its called. :twisted:
-
Oh I GET IT! Thanks the russian & frendz. Now can you tell me.... when will be the next time it will be open to everyone? So i can finally go and see what its like to be a tester.

WOAH YALL MUST BE RICH! The most ive ever gotten in a battle is around 300.... :lol:

Future signs of how the world will end :shock: ('< * * * * * * * * Waga Waga Waga....

He duplicated it until he had 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999

and used them all at the same time....

Its a program that disables unnecessary background programs while your playing games... I find it really useful my fps is way better.

Ok so here i goes again... I was minding my own business Playing and a hornet with isida comes in and a viking with rico.. They push me off the cliff and I have no idea whats going on... First it was the hornet with isida ... Then His friend joins shooting me..... :evil: I was drugging alot ...... were they unhappy about me stealing kills ? I had Hornet M1 and Rico M1.... :?: :?: :?: 1. In pic 1 you cant see my tank becuase i was falling.... In Pic 2 im just showing the people.. Do i need more proof :?: 2.
-
I dont like the idea...

30$!? A MONTH!? I have AT&T too! And My mom's bills come at 50$!

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Turrets -Smokey M3 -Firebird M2 -Twins M2 -Rail M1 -Isida M1 -Thunder M1 -Freeze M0 -RIco M1 Tanks -Wasp M0 -Hunter M0 -Titan M0 -Dictator M0 -Hornet M1 -Viking M0 Not bad.... I think.. Im warrant offi 5
-
What is the best combination out of these turrets and tanks?

I have rico m1 and hornet m1 and viking m0 i love to use my viking more than hornet m1 with my rico m1 :) and im doing good fro warrant offi 5..... i think.... -
I like the ghost mode crystal pickup thing :mrgreen: because it gives everyone a chance to get crystals not only the winner
-
They should make it now with bugs n glitches but continue to fix them. :?:

Sometimes you see your postition as 1st on the Hall of Fame but that's just a bug. It happens all the time so don't go crazy when you see that you're first. Yep ive had it
