We have a couple of great articles, just posted. The first is an interview with climate scientist Tom Wigley, who believes it's time to consider nuclear energy if we are to avoid geoengineering as a response to climate change. The second is about the Electric Grid Cybersecurity Initiative, and the call for a new organization to combat attacks to the grid. Best, Janice

Scooby, why do you keep posting the garbage from this person? No one ever comments (hint).
You can't save the planet with nuclear power cause in the end there is no safe place to store spent fuel ... see the debacle at WIPP. That place will never reopen again. Burying waste underground is just as dangerous as putting it in your local city dump. Just ask Carlsbad residents.

Well, you obviously don't live in Carlsbad. Absolutely no one was injured, no one got over federally recommended doses, and no one even had close to a harmful dose. Plus, the originating source has been identified and will be mitigated, resulting in the reopening of WIPP in a few weeks. Try to stay current and try to state the truth. You want to mitigate nuclear waste? Try breeder reactors.
Define a few weeks please? Give us a maximum till it will be open. I will bet you that it won't be open this time next year. Is that a few weeks?
Diversity has spawned mediocrity at LANL and LLNL too. Sandia probably is less mediocre since diversity is easier and makes more sense in an engineering context.

Oops, sorry, wrong thread. Meant the previous one.

Speaking of mediocrity --
Oh shut up, you turd.
I know you are, but what am i?
You don't know what you are? Sad.
Fission reactors will only help us if we start reprocessing spent fuel soon. Without reprocessing we will run out of U235 fuel in less than 30(maybe 20) years. For even longer term breeder reactors will be required. So it is not a matter of just building more power reactors but a reprocessing industry must be established and the unintended consequences of reprocessing must be handled. We cannot bury the spent fuel rods as we need to reprocess them for fuel. I am interested in the reaction of climate change and environmental people to this.
Reprocessing was being done, and was an active research area at LANL and other labs until Ford suspended it and Carter shut it down in the late 70's. So short-sighted.
