“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity” ~llaw

A living dinosaur (even a T-Rex) was far less dangerous than an extinct one is today . . . ~llaw

On My Mind Today:

Instead of proliferating nuclear bombs, constructing new nuclear power plants, or restarting long ago mothballed unreliable old ones, which is beyond risky — more like foolhardy — we should be shutting them all down, developing a way to rid ourselves of existing nuclear fuel and nuclear waste instead of adding more, and moving on as a united world of peace toward concentrating only on renewable resources for power consumption and no weapons of war.

We also don’t need “artificial suns” (nuclear fusion) when we have a perfectly good one that has kept us alive along with the earth’s natural resources since the arrival of humans and other life on planet Earth.

If cleaning up our dirty nuclear earthly home interferes with the growing nuclear-energy gluttons we know as Information Technology (IT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) — that want to control the worlds of the future — that’s just too bad, but so be it; we shouldn’t want them nor should we think we need them. We have to clean up our global act to survive, and, if we do, we will be far better off without anything nuclear, allowing us all to live to see another day after all. ~llaw
