The dark ages really weren’t all that bad.
Me, I see it a bit differently. I don’t believe we have to choose between the dark ages and multiple nuclear melt-downs. I think there was plenty of good in between, before the nuke people developed their sense of entitlement - it’s like they have a theory of nuclear waste ‘manifest destiny’ and they just ‘get’ to dump it and melt it and spray it and burn it whenever they want to and we should just get used to it or we are whiners. Yeah...those were the days.........
Good one. Good come back. You got a chuckle out of me on that one. Of course, I was not advocating we go back to the dark ages.
Actually I share your faith that man through technology can improve his condition. Just not necessary to do that with nuclear power plants. We have alternatives that will keep us out of the dark ages and that don't run the risk that radiation will render large areas of our country uninhabitable for the next 100 years or so.
