And yet I keep hearing from nuclear fans that there's nothing to worry about and that it's safe. And how is this cheaper than renewable. That place has to be maintained and secured for 100,000 years.
If we put that onto our timeline, we were just getting out of Africa and using stone tools.
That's not the sort of gift we should be leaving our descendents. Okay we have to deal with what we have, but we shouldn't be making any more of the stuff. Because there will be an accident somewhen down the line.
People wanting to save the environment for our children, by leaving nuclear waste with a half life time of 24.000 to billions of years for them to take care of, are a certain kind of stupid.
That's the bit I don't understand either.
