4. Progress, what a concept
Wed May 22, 2013, 09:46 PM

Some folks are stuck in the 50's, still. Hooked up to a nuke plant that has proven to be both too dangerous and in the end - talking decades of cleanup - too expensive. They love their nukes. Right to the bloody end.

While hooked up with nukes, which are a technology way beyond their control or knowledge, they refuse to embrace new tech using safe common man control and knowledge. It is as if they want to have something big and dangerous hanging over their heads.

The rest of the world seeks energy sources that can be lived with. Hey! How about the sun? We can live with that right? And the wind. Earth stuff like geothermal and flowing water. All energy sources that with progress can supply our energy needs, long as the sun shines and the winds blow.

Quit fighting it nukers. Let go of nukes and embrace tomorrow's progressive tech and enjoy a cleaner, more pollution free future.
