sure plutonium is found in nature but for the most part it is considered man made.

As I said using nuclear energy to boil water to make steam to power turbines that turns generators to make electricity is totally and completely insane. If it was only discovered today it would not be used. We were sold a pig in a poke when we allowed it to begin with. At some point in the future I'm convinced there will be no nuclear power plants. The risk are simply too great
now put that in your pipe and smoke it
