  But That's ok, their making munitions from the spend fuel rods.(Depleted Uranium) Good Stuff... Heck, instead of burying the stuff, let's make bombs out of it, boy what a great idea! And scatter the stuff all over the country side another good idea!

  Now you are talking to my sarcastic heart. I hear you loud and clear. People I swear. When will we learn? Sometimes I feel like those poor pigeons I learned about today again on the Diane Raines show. The ones ousted from their home and moved to 'better purposes.' Live targets for shooting clubs. Lose/ lose I say.

  So glad to see our bad mistakes as humans going to better purposes. jeez.

  Good to see you Acadian! Missed ya!

  I'm not in a place to even take a look at the pictures; I know what I'd see, and I'm just not up for that right now.

  With respect nuclear energy and global warming: I see nuclear as a devil-we-know, while global warming is a devil we don't know nearly so well. BUT (big, big but), we do know this about global warming, it can potentially be a much much bigger devil than nuclear energy production can be.

  So I would hope that we can solve our problems with sustainable carbon-nuetral forms of energy, but if we can't, we can't. And if we can't (and there is reason to speculate that we can't, in the time frame necessary), we need to decide that very soon, and get busy building the environmentally safest nuclear power generation systems we can.

  Part of the reason this is so thorny, is that in the best case, we'd utilize new nuclear energy generation plants, but still be prepared to phase out that same nuclear in the not to distant future when other forms of energy can replace it. For obvious practical reasons, that type of thinking does not sit well with the business of monetary investment.
