should we be a Nuke dumping ground

There is, however, a simpler & safer solution to the world's energy problem, although most of you will not like to hear it.
The solution is to reduce the number of people on the planet & also to reduce this idiotic thing known as 'consumerism'.

...............and who chooses the cull


..................and consumerism is what we all do, its called living, we all consume in order to live

Economically it may end up being an advantage, current reactors only burn a small percentage potential of energy from uranium... we sell it back to them again once better reactor technology is developed and implemented.

Buckminster Fuller wrote a great book called "Critical Path". One of his points was that we need to look after our waste dumps as they will be resource mines in the future as technology improves and we can get more of the rare metals etc out of them. Its happening in a small way with some methane recovery from some landfills. The only problem is the interim pollution of things like water tables from leachate. There will come a time when they will be mined for polymers and metals, particularly copper. It makes a low level nuke dump an interesting investment.

A bit OT but I've read that almost all of our landfill is compostable or recyclable, but that's prevented at the moment by the small proportion of toxic stuff in the mix.
