LK: Then what about the scrubbers? Do they take all of the toxins out?
M: I doubt it. They can take out much more than comes out now.
LK: Can you make sure everybody in the planet does so?
M: Can we make sure the Russians don't blast their nuclear waste in the air? I don't see what this question has to do with anything.
LK: Where do you store the crap that comes off of them, since most are filled with heavy metals.
M: Would you buy a site in Nevada for a quarter?
LK: Additionally, isn't that whole entire process pretty wasteful in and of itself?
M: That is not the point. The point is that the true costs of fossil and nuclear energy are being born down stream in health and risk of terrorists attacks etc.
LK: Does it solve the problem of a finite resource?
M: No, nor does nuclear. Renewable is the watch word.
LK: What happens if the CO2 you liquify and pump back down comes back up?
M: Look up what happens to CO2 pumped to the ocean floor on the web. My understanding is it won't unless the oceans evaporate.
LK: What about all of the chemicals and nasty stuff in the converters? How will all of that added costs be passed to consumers? Will we be able to afford such a gap measure?
M: We are already paying in health bills.
LK: As a person whos wife had cancer that might have been precipitated by radiation, I can say that I would feel completely comfortable living next to a nuke reactor and she would too. Why? Because as long as people like my good friend in the navy, a guy with 3 masters degrees in nuclear engineering, is running them and I know the designs reasonably well and discuss them with him, I have no problems at all.
LK: You aren't a typical Mother. Very sorry to hear that news about your wife.
LK: Yeah, I am a juvenile delinquent, try again Moonbat. I am not that easy to goad,
M: I made it clear, I think, in a portion of my post you don't quote here, that I was trying to tell you you aren't the only one who can goad.
LK: I think there are plenty of people here who would consider me immensely more logical, rational, and educated than you.
M: I am sure there are.
LK: I have no idea what to say here. I can't tell if you're being a fool or not. I am not the same pig as you, as I don't own a car, take public transportation, conserve power at every turn, and do what I can to stop my other pollution footprints.
M: I told you you are a good man.
LK: Heavy metals? Other chemical pollutants that leech into the environment?
M: Not sure what you mean here but those aren't radioactive and don't freak people out nearly as much.
LK: Looking at your posts and your idiotic comments in several other threads, it's not hard to see why I would say that.
M: There is never an excuse to lower yourself to the next person's level.
LK: I own several guns but I don't have them anywhere near me. Hunting is a thing of my past and my weapons are in my brother's possession. I am not a gun "nut", nor do I claim any egotistical benefit from having guns. However, your condescending attitude only highlights your inability to rationalize and see other aspects of life. You think you are better than anybody else just because of guns? How pathetic your life must be.
M: Well you don't have to claim it to have it or even know if you do, but you are offended by my comments and that tells me I hit some nerve. I gots guns too, and more than a few.
LK: again, a quality reply. Thanks!
M: But you respond to the tit for tat and have nothing to say about this?:
"I recommend you stop feeling so inferior to me and take in a bit of what I say. I wish you nothing but the best. The water where I swim is clean and refreshing, come on in. You are a beautiful and wonderful person. Your intentions with nuclear, here, are the best. You believe that nuclear is a good idea and I see it as a disaster. We disagree but I see where you are at. I can play the insult game at least as well as you but this is not about you and me, don't you see. The issue of where we will get our power is going to have to be faced and that should be done based on long and hard effort to build consensus."
