“I know of no problems we are or have had with uranium as it sits in the ground. “
Right, and oil that sits in its natural place causes no problems. Take it out, throw it on the beach or on a bunch of dolphins and the situation is different.
“WE also have radon in various places but when id’d in a hpme the remedy is easy and inexpensive.”
Radon has been shown to cause serous health issues. I have a friend who has spent over $6000 to fix a serious radon issue. Hardly easy or inexpensive.
None of which goes to explain your argument that the massive amount of spilled oil will be cleaned up by nature and the inference we shouldn’t worry about it.
I bought a home with a radon problem and the fix was under $500 and consisted of nothing more than adequate ventilation in the basement, which was accomplished by drawing air from several points in the basement and forcing it outside via exhaust fan.
As for the oil problem in the Gulf. I’m not saying we shouldn’t so what we can but I do stand by my claim that nature will eventually take car of the problem.
We have a lot of freeprs with their heads in the sand and they are going to keep them there with hostility.
