It's sad, it's scary... But unless cold fusion is more than just wishful thinking, nuclear energy is not going away... I am just glad I dont live next to it!
You're so right to be concerned/outraged... But it's like the global financial meltdown... The little guy doesn't have a say! He just gets to suffer the consequences!!
One day, when it all goes pear-shaped, those responsible will just move on to mars... Once the atmosphere has been altered per their specifications... I'm sure there are people working on it... That's what progressive thinkers are for...
oh!
...and a Happy New Year!...
...live each day like its your last! Because you never know....!
