Much less bad waste, no chance of meltdown. The only reason our nuclear energy infrastructure is uranium based is that it spun off of nuclear weapon development. Thorium is more abundant too. Just needs to be developed. From: Jason McKemie Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2016 12:43 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Tesla Model 3... who else is getting one?

And really it is not that dangerous. A tanker of chlorine or ammonia is much more dangerous.

If you calculate the cost of moving and reencapsulating the waste for some thousand years. Your ancestors will learn that no energy company will exist long enough to take responsibility for the waste they generated. This will be done by the tax payer. -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Josh Luthman <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> Datum: 01.04.2016 22:18 (GMT+01:00) An: af@afmug.com Betreff: Re: [AFMUG] Tesla Model 3... who else is getting one?
