Coz they are comrade Glenno. Putin fooled dubya, but he is showing his true colors. Funny how they put that oil man in jail and stole his company. I hope oil stays low and Russia starves. Thats one way to skin a bear.

Many aspects of life are cyclical. Fashion, for instance, is constantly being reinvented by reintroducing an old idea in a different or more appealing way. Today there is nothing more fashionable than energy—clean energy. The uncertainty about future prices and reserves of fossil fuel and the skyrocketing demand for energy have resurrected interest in an old fad, nuclear power. It has the lowest CO2 emission when compared with fossil fuels, and safety has significantly improved with the construction of modern plants. But what about the infamous nuclear waste? Fresh in my memory are the debates about the disposal of this scary residue and Greenpeace protests against dumping it in the ocean. However, until now I haven't seen any information about projects to handle the radioactive leftovers, just the miracles of this almost-zero-emission energy. It seems we are not looking for a solution, but postponing the problem. Nuclear energy can help ameliorate the greenhouse effect that is now so urgent, but we still have an extremely hazardous byproduct that lasts for centuries. In the future, we might be facing not only global warming, but famine due to radioactive contamination of our crops and oceans. We already have the technology and knowledge necessary to efficiently generate real clean energy. It is time to think about the future of our world and look for more than temporary solutions.
