6. And the waste issue?

Lots of assumptions there but your contempt is very apparent. Yes these one trick pony topic posts don’t draw a lot of attention. Your conversion sales job is really working here by the response you get. But I hope you live in Yucca that way you can really walk the talk.

Didn’t hear about a plan for that radioactive waste issue, which is typical. It’s quaint and easy for the non-bourgeois sect to blow that off just like the legacy toxins that no one wants to deal with while the nuke advocates want to add more to the problem.

Price Anderson Act really helps alleviate accountability.

If you get what you want and reach the scale where it’s widespread throughout the globe, I hope you thought this through on what can happen and how you’re gonna deal with these issues. Telling me about air pollution killing more people is silly and a red herring. We are not talking about rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, trading in one harmful evil for another. I hear the same false promises from the waste to energy advocates. Anything in aggregate is going to be a long term problem if the industries aren’t made to deal directly with the harm they cause. The externalized subsidies have to stop, like draining nuke waste into the ocean after an “incident”. (Since you mentioned Fukushima so often in this rant).

Methane is heating up the planet faster than carbon by the way.
