The great misconception about nuclear is that it "produces waste". Semantics.

If the reactor reprocessed fuel, as does every other country who has nuclear power, there would be virtually no radio active waste. The aleged reason we do not reprocess is that the waste from the Uranium process is plutonium and could alegedly be stolen by terrorists to make boms. How this is an argument to leave it in pools outside Nuclear facilities I do not know it seems far wiser to process it until it is no longer a threatening material. My only guess is we intend to pack it into war heads should the need arrise. Pretty irresponsible isn't it? But it maximized profits.

How did this maximize profits? Are you slow or something? When you spit unused fuel out your gas tank does that SAVE you money? Did it ever occur to you that, in suspision there could someday be a Nuclear war it might be handy to have a bunch of warhead material on hand? It sure has occured to IRAN AND NORTH KOREA!

But they didn't disclose the recycling costs or by-products produced in recycling Do they factor in the recylcing costs of coal mines, or the cost of land use for them, or the transportation cost for coal, or the pollution cost?
That amounts to 7,400,000 deadly "lighters" produced every single year
Which would take generations to fill a single average strip mine.

And you actually think that nuke power plants yield bomb quality fissionable material? Yes, someone is slow here.

That's not what I said. Though there are certainly some negative aspects to our car centered society.

That's not what I said. That is why I asked you to clarify.

I'm sorry, I asked a question, I did not say that you "said" anything.
Let me be more explicit. What exactly is downplayed about highway deaths?

How many movies and memorials and political statements and political carreers and MIA flags and on and on and on have occured due to Vietnam. Answer, innumerable. It took Vietnam over 10 years to kill 54000 people. We lose that on the highway every 16 months. You seldom hear a peep.

We are going to pay for it one way or another. I rather pay for the nuke power then put more money in Iran's bank accounts. Subsidize the power plants or subsidize Iran's terrorist war against us.

So, what does france do with the 'waste'? They get 80% of their power from nuke plants.

No as I said it is CLOSE to, the junk they call 'spent fuel' is EASILY processed into weapons grade material. THIS WOULD BE WHY WHEN SADAAM WAS BUILDDING A NUCLEAR REACTOR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT THE ISRAELIES BOMBED IT.

Exactly, if they had their way we would be using horse and buggies. And I am sure they would still find something to complain about.

Twenty-two years ago, as president of the newly formed MADD chapter, in my interview in the newspaper and tv stations, I used the Vietnam stats to compare the (then) 26,000 highway deaths to drunk driving.

You're kidding! So we are in agreement? The 26K number must be over the same time period as Vietnam.
PS, I tend to back and forth between being a member of DAMM and barely accepting our current draconian policies about drinking and driving.
