Those who have foisted the horror of nuclear power on the world have always tried to sell it to us as being safe, clean and affordable. The reality, the nightmare truth, is that nuclear power is the extreme opposite of all of those false, yet historically effective, sales pitches: nuclear power is epically dangerous, incredibly and catastrophically toxic to all life, and not affordable in any sense of that word.
When they start handing out iodine pills, we're all in trouble. You would think, after Three Mile Island, after Chernobyl, and after Fukushima, the lie could not be sold, could not be sustained, anymore, yet here we are: iodine pills being handed out in Ukraine.
"Oh, but who could predict a (clearly) mad man, fascist head of state using a huge nuclear power plant as cover in a military takeover?" Let's see: Oh, I know! How about: ANYONE WITH A BRAIN!
Why, why, why are these monsters, these nuclear power plants, still in existence? They all need to be decommissioned and shut down FOREVER.
In the immortal words of the old anti-nuclear slogan I have on many a treasured, vintage button in my credenza: "Solar employs, nuclear destroys".
My question to you, friends, is: do human beings ever LEARN? Do we ever understand our place? By the latter, I mean: do/will we ever understand that we have to live in respect, reverence for, and harmony with nature, as we are a part of nature. Whatever we do that is in violation of that--that is literally violence to nature--WE will pay the price for.
Will we learn in time to save ourselves? Are we capable of learning? We bill ourselves as the most intelligent species... yet I don't see any other species building nuclear power plants, and something tells me it ain't just because they don't have opposable thumbs.
