First time ever I get on one of those Media comments

Yeah! I had to pick one of the most obscure articles, and not mention anything that violates their commercial interest, but I did it. So mild, so insipid! Anyway, these guys have to be careful, or the next Conrad-wannabe will sue them!

On the actual topic, I despair of anything happening on the nuclear front. First, they have to hire somebody competent to handle billions of dollars, and not being called a 'fat cat' by the NDP. Then, they actually have to tell AECL to get lost, and get accused of 'destroying thousands of jobs'. Then they have to say 'Oh, we're sorry, we're not actually building at Darlington, but next door at Wesleyville.'. Then, they have to tell the Suzukiists 'Sorry, but we're killing a few fish, instead of birds'. And it goes on and on.... I don't think they have the heart for it.

And wither long term nuclear storage? This where we came in.
Need non co2 producing energy? Nuc looks good. Only one big problem, lots of real nasty stuff to dispose of .. long term . . hundred thousand years long term . . we'll study and get back to you.
And yet still no solution that those who ought to know can live with.

Photovoltaics anyone?

The stuff is actually a valuable industrial product. It requires some political rationality, which is in short supply. I still can't wait for the Bruce dog&pony show to start!
