Dumping 1M gallons of radioactive water in Hudson is 'best option,' per Indian Point nuclear owner

[progree]

9. Nobody is advocating boiling the water to solve the radiation or any other pollutant problem

with Indian Point's water, at least not from the OP's excerpt. I didn't read all the linked articles, so maybe I missed something. The only thing in the OP excerpt that talks about boiling water is:

"Those advocating nuclear boondoggles to boil water won't be around to worry about the waste."

That's apparently caribbean's comment. The usual meme about how boiling water with nuclear energy is way overdoing the relatively "simple" task of boiling water blah blah as some present it. (One boils water to generate steam to spin the turbine-generators that produce the electricity).

Trouble is the anywhere-near-economic large-scale alternative ways of boiling water are fossil-fueled.  

Sorry if I'm not understanding what your comment refers to

How stupid do they think people are? Boiling water will not eliminate contaminants like heavy metals, salts, and chemicals but ONLY bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. A 7th grader would know this.
