How long do we have to keep the lights on and keep protecting the nuclear waste? 100's of years, is the consensus. That's what I refer to. Sure, some that we have only needs 10 years, or five if we want to risk it, to control the heat from the spent rods. Why is it that you are so snitty about a few details?

Oh, hospitals, are not prone to blow up when the power drops. But remember Katrina and the hospitals there where people died after the generators dropped? Solar could have saved that situation from being so bad. Certainly the nukes were of NO help.

Think, Baggions, THINK!
