That's not even counting all of the fallout crap from nuclear accidents.Is there a point to avoiding extinction? If there is, it would probably have to be achieved through mastering and using nuclear energy on a much broader scale than hitherto safe to claim in any public policy.
What was the point of any of this?
Why the hell we do still arrogantly fool ourselves into thinking we can control nuclear power and play with its waste as if it were putty?
Oh wait, I'm part of the same violent stupid species that still worships desert gods and hunts whales aren't I?
In any case, the fallout from nuclear accidents is a small price to pay to avoid the fallout from fossil fuel consumption nuclear energy replaced.
