Hate to break it to you, but most of the usable parts of the clunkers were salvaged before the shredding. There was some loss to the secondary car sales market, since they were removed from the mix. Until you liberals get serious about nuclear energy, your 'improvement to the atmosphere' comments are little more than humorous politics. It's not a complete solution or even a good partial solution. It takes years to build power plants, and there's always the spent fuel problem. When are you going to get serious about the actual problems. -- Nom=de=Plume |

Hmmm.... a tool of the Heritage Foundation. No mention of that in the article. As to the merits of reprocessing, if it can be done safely, I'm all for it. What do the top ten cities (over 250,000) with the highest poverty rate all have in common? Democrat mayors. Sure is easy for you to morph from nuclear power to city's poor. Another tactic to distract from the facts? -- Nom=de=Plume |

Every day you delay the building of nuclear plants is another day the citizens of the USA are sending money overseas for energy or burning coal and oil. When are you going to get serious about the actual problems. When are you going to stop talking about the problem and start taking action. |

When are you going to get serious about the actual problems. When are you going to stop talking about the problem and start taking action. The real solution is to stop eating so much meat. That would have an immediate and positive effect. The other things take years. -- Nom=de=Plume |

Better to let Florida sink, huh? How have the stupid, friggin' French managed to do so well, Gene? Perhaps you should do a little reading on the new technology available for dealing with nuclear waste. I guess improving the atmosphere isn't such a big deal after all, is it? -- John H All decisions, even those made by liberals, are the result of binary thinking. |

Nope, not all things. I like their sensibility about the use of nuclear power, and I like many of the works by Michel Delacroix. Croissants fresh from the campsite owner's oven were a real treat. Paying over $10 for two cokes at Sacré-Coeur Basilica was hard to take. But, the kids were thirsty. -- John H All decisions, even those made by liberals, are the result of binary thinking. |
