The pyramids put nuclear waste half-life in perspective for me. They’re only five thousand years old. If the human race survives its geometrical overpopulation progression, I hope the generations 10, 15, 25,000 years down the line figure out what to do with our “gift”.

Yes, this one got me on a rant also. I just don’t understand when people want to deny the risks and the waste.

Oh, but it’s so “clean.” Bullshit.

The other thing that occurs to me is why would the rest of the world community trust that the US is only using nuclear (or is it nu-cu-lur???) power for energy, and not some evil empire weaponry– I mean really, you’d have t at least consider that other countries would have their suspicions.
This is why it is so outrageous that the US is the worldwide sandbox bully- telling r countries what they can & can;t have– but would the US allow other countries to inspect everything they want on OUR country?
I don;t know about other countries, but as a citizen of this country, I don;t trust this government to be responsible–even if all they did was create power plants with the nuclear energy- ask the people of Chernobyl their opnion of nukes– if any of them are still alive to tell the story of their reactor melt down.
Furthermore, if the US could not hanlde the Katrina disaster (still not fixed all these years later), what makes us think the could handle a radioactive man made disaster?
Oxymoronically, McCain likens himself to be an environmentl steward.
Maybe we should call him John Meltdown McCain??? Insane McCain?
It’s important that his agenda details be known– most folks with brain cells firing would not even allow this proposal to be on the table.

Amen BF ! Science & Common sense should prevail.

Yep Dusty- No putting that stuff back in the tube.*
Reference to a remark made by Nixon, when Watergate was exposed, he said you can’t get the toothpaset back in the tube….. no going back.

I always kind of quipped w the Bush regime– if ya can’t pronounce it (nuclear), you should not be involved with it.

But seriously– will McCain;s ad say

More Wars! More Nuclear Reactors! More Prisoner Abuse!

Probably not, but maybe Move on will…….

Unless and Until those scientists know how to actually deal with the leftovers..Nuke is a no-no for me.

We have millions of tons around the world of that shit laying about..and it’s all radioactive for-friggin-ever.

Its the easy way out, nuclear energy. It means no money will be spent on alternative fuels.

There is what, 50 years or so of accumulated nuclear waste laying around that the Fed’s and the nuclear power industry would like to bury under a mountain in Nevada and forget about? I’m with the residents of Nevada, “not in my backyard”.

In terms of a national energy policy, the politicians who have led this country in to the predicament we are in today, as far as the nuclear waste issues, the oil issues, the destruction of the planetary environment, all need to stop listening to the self serving plutocrats, and pay attention to the scientists and the common folk that have to live here.
