  1. Re:Is Nuclear going to be acknowledged? on Two Google Engineers Say Renewables Can't Cure Climate Change · · Score: 0

    Yeah, because nuclear is real clean and stuff.

    The spent fuel is piling up at a rate of about 2,200 tons a year at U.S. power-plant sites. The industry and government decline to say how much waste is currently stored at individual plants. The U.S. nuclear industry had 69,720 tons of uranium waste as of May 2013, with 49,620 tons in pools and 20,100 in dry storage, according to the Nuclear Energy Institute industry group.

    Spent nuclear fuel is about 95 percent uranium. About 1 percent is other heavy elements such as curium, americium and plutonium-239. Each has an extremely long half-life — some take hundreds of thousands of years to lose all of their radioactive potency.

    In TFA there's a chart of targets. The US is not on it.

    Anyway, this is actually great news because the US has been keen on accusing China and Russia of hacking the US.

    This throws some cold WAteR on that, doesn't it?

    The reason CDN wants China is money. So, if China wants to block that, it's their country. Painting "freedom" on a capitalistic venture is not fooling the Chinese government.

    Hell, Verizon is riding on edgecast.

    We were comparing experiences because of your comment:

    In my experience, anyone who fails to respond to a letter, won't respond to a letter signed by a lawyer. Unless the first letter was written in crayon on toilet paper.

    I am countering with my experience, which includes 18.5 years total immersion and counting, with yours which apparently is long distance in both perimeter and time.

    I know what I'm talking about, and you are guessing.

    I'm OK with that, but let's just be clear about it.

    You guys are too aggressive.

    A polite, inquisitive, probe by a lawyer, asking for simple clarification, goes a LONG way when the recipient knows damn well they don't want to be embarking on a journey that the recipient can't justify.
