”End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity”
DEC 27, 2023
LLAW’s THOUGHTS TONIGHT:
So tonight, and I suppose, till the end of this week there will be dozens of year-end media recaps of 2023’s trek through the days of fear, anger, confusion, random lies, dissolving paper agreements once more or less honored among nations, and, worst of all, an international move toward a silly belief that nuclear power is the way to solve our problem with greenhouse gasses that is far more dangerous on a day-to-day basis than the affects of global warming, climate change, and foreclosure of life ever thought of being? We are making a huge mistake by believing this never-ending, never scientifically harshly derided, ignorantly always promoted and often believed by those listening to commercial industry propaganda, that nuclear power is the darling of the future. We could live so long . . .
And yet we are doing so at a time of nuclear unrest full of war threats that include the use of existing nuclear power plants, their waste, and their reactors as weapons of mass destruction — exactly like their big brother arsenals – the nuclear bombs – of a possible, if not probable, WWIII. And, once (or ounce) again, why do we think that uranium (the fuel for all things nuclear) is anything different than all other fossil fuels when it all comes from the same source as the the other other environmental 5th Extinction elements? Someone knew what they needed to do to purify this beautiful planet Earth in order to prosper for themselves. Who could it be back then? Could it have been us seeking habitable life — the very same ones who’ve lost our way? ~llaw
