Radioactivity is our friend! ... apparently...

That's funny... so we'll just shove some more radioactive material in something that's already proven radioactive. Show it to be safe... then I might be comfortable with something like this.
great....instead of nails...

instead of nails and screws laced with rat poisons, terrorists will soon be able to use nuke batteries.
of course, it doesn't mean that the terrorists can't lace those nuke batteries with rat poison (an anti-coagulant).
I still think fuel cells are safer. Hell, a methane fuel cell would be ideal especially when Cowboy Neal eats burritos or have one too many baked potatoes.

My rants are completely coherent. It's taken this thread a long time to return to the point I originally made: the radioactive battery industry will be a worse pollution problem than the mercury ones - because of the pollution from the industry, not because the batteries themselves will be harmful. I expect that the current controls will prohibit the economics of scale desired by the manufacturers, and will be changed. Complacency about the pollution will contribute to that reduction in safety. These issues are important, with direct impact on our lives and health, so I have no problem with ranting about them. Any loss of coherence is in the receiver.
