When driving through France, one can see a nuclear power plant
around
every
curve, it seems. France has not, to my knowledge, had a nuclear
incident.
Why do
we not use more nuclear power? Is it politics?

Perhaps they haven't begun thinking about what to do with the waste
yet.
Neither have we. Or you. I suspect you don't think about it because
you
don't feel the problem will become critical until you're dead. I,
on
the
other hand, give a damn about the world my son and his children
inherit.
I'm
funny that way.


Do you sincerely feel that placing yourself on a pedestal while
demeaning
others
lends value to your posts, Doug?

John H

When you ask a silly question like "is it politics?", it sort of begs
for
a
slap in the face. As far back as a year ago, you explained that you
sometimes enjoy baiting the assembled masses here. By now, you may
have
refined it to an art form. How do I know you didn't fall off your
chair
laughing after you wrote that question?


Why does the question beg a "slap in the face" from you? Are you sure I
stated
an enjoyment in 'baiting the masses"? I don't recall that.

There have been several literate responses to my question. Few pedestal
climbers.

You're preparing for a major remodeling project. Your contractor of
choice r
eminds you that your normal garbage truck will not haul away the debris,
and
that you must make special arrangements. On the day the contractor
returns
with his crew to begin work, you have not rented a dumpster. You tell him
"I'll deal with it later, somehow, probably".

Is that about right?


If that has something to do with the previous posts in this thread, then
you
*do* belong on your pedestal. You're way over my head!

John H

Is IS connected with the nuclear power issue, and you don't see the analogy.
Think about it over the weekend, grasshopper.
