I have been to the area around 3-mile Island. I don't know if you have been there recently like I have, but I do know I'm glad I'm not raising a family near there. Their genetic material has been forever altered, and it was clear to me, after I asked a friend, "what is -wrong- with the people around here?" and found out I was only miles from the site. Yes, that is how I discovered I was near 3-mile Island. By simple observation of the population. It was that clear.
I would hope we can come up with a more inventive solution to a technology that clearly has a very deep, dark, downside for innocent civilians.

Wiktionary states: Enormity is frequently used as a synonym for "enormousness," rather than "great wickedness." This is frequently considered an error; the words have different roots in French, and radically different accepted meanings
As far as I can tell, the vernacular usage of enormity to which you refer is a rather recent addition to the definition, and first came into usage during the media coverage of Bush Jr's lavish inauguration, during which reporters referred to the "enormity" of the proceedings.
An adjective has rarely been abused in so fitting a way as that.
The media has repeated that usage slavishly since then.

Alibabi is not unique in this regard, Amazon is due for a dressing-down for quite similar negligence. I have bought many supposedly name-brand items, only to realize upon receiving that they are cheap, fraudulent knock-offs. Yet Amazon seems unable or unwilling to address the issue. Reading recent comments, you can sometimes tell, but Amazon does not associate the product supplier with the comments, so there is no way to track which suppliers are providing authentic goods, and which are taking you for a ride.
Does this let a mall cop deploy an xray machine at the mall to see through pretty girls clothes, saying in public, clothes should not provide them with an expectation of privacy?

...how they feel about nuclear power as an "eco-friendly" source of "renewable" energy.
And the rest of the growing list of countries phasing it out completly.

Exactly how many nuclear disasters does it take before we figure out how to do what these other countries are already doing?
