This is water. Some are lakes. So yes, I write about obvious things.
I also have some songs here:

Infographics, so pretty. Just some food for thought. And remember, it’s safer than you think, especially with new reactor technology coming in in the next 20 years or so. Read a Wall Street Journal article on nuclear here, it’s good for you. Not always New York Times or Daily Beast, mmkay?
nuclear juice is the part of a healthy energy breakfast, it provides the get up and go you need without all the fatty excess of hydrocarbons. As part of a balanced diet it will keep your lungs clean and mother nature placid. Just be sure to defecate into a WHMIS certified holder-container and seal tightly – that dang waste…
Amen brother! I’m reading a book right now that I think you would find quite interesting. It’s called Power to Save the World: The Truth About Nuclear Energy. It dispels an awful lot of the “concerns” (myths) about nuclear, especially issues around radiation, and comes from a writer who was initially a nuclear skeptic. It’s based on the writer going on a tour with a nuclear expert to follow the entire life cycle of uranium fuel.
… Disclaimer before I start my rant – I’m a nuclear “insider” so you can call me biased but it’s not something I’d choose to do if I didn’t honestly believe in it …
I find it hard to believe there are a lot of people who argue we can have a non nuclear AND fossil future. Conservation and renewables just aren’t gonna cut it on their own, especially when we all start plugging in our cars instead of filling them with gas (I find it funny that those two very much related issues never seem to be addressed in the same reports released by the Greenpeaces and Sierra Clubs of the world). Not to mention nuclear produces less CO2 than most renewables over it’s lifecycle (a lot of steel and concrete goes into those 10s of thousands of windmills or thousands of acres of PV cells needed to replace a single nuke plant). Yeah there’s waste, but most people are shocked to learn just how little and how easily it can be contained (if they actually take the time to learn that is). As for safety, don’t get me started on that “problem” – last month a hydro station in russia blew itself apart and killed over 80 people, that’s more deaths than attributed to the initial Chernobyl disaster (long term cancers may add around 5,000 deaths but that’s in a population that would expect about 100,000 cancer deaths to begin with so good luck determining the actual cause) but we’re not racing out to shut down all hydro dams.
Alright, rant over, I know I’m preaching to a believer already, just seemed like a good time to share some of my thoughts.
gillerps. Thanks for your rant! love it. I should check out that book, thanks !
