Global warming: Are we doomed? A poll.

[Spongebob]

Stuff it you know -nothing.....

Palisades Nuclear - sitting right on Lake Michigan has every ounce of waste it ever produced SITTING RIGHT ON SITE.

There has never been a plan to move it somewhere else - as it isn' t cost effective. The shit will sit there till it' s containment goes to shit - then it can turn the largest body of fresh water we have into an undrinkable radioactive sludge pond. 

You' re just happy to shit all over future generations so you can have cheap juice now...... "Let the grandkids deal with it" is your motto.....

More ignorance.  

Yes, the waste is sitting right there, doing absolutely nothing.  It's contained.  It isn't harming the environment.  Not a permanent solution, but still much better than what we do with coal.  I'm currently cleaning up a giant poison lake.  There have been many disasters at fossil fuel facilities, but ignorant people ignore them.

The primary reason nuclear waste has not been moved to a "permanent" storage place has very little to do with costs and there most certainly are designs for permanent storage.  The issue is just as you stated, no one wants it in their back yard.  Plans have been put on hold not because they are too costly or not viable, but because ignorant and fearful people won't accept them in their state despite their state benefitting from nuclear power.

We are already shitting on this generation, the last generation and future generations, with fossil fuels.  Fortunately, we were able to solve some past catastrophes, like acid rain.  Yeah, that wasn't cheap.  But compared to carbon emissions it was nothing.  Future generations will curse us for our selfishness.
