I wonder how the spent waste is going to get to said dumping grounds? On trains that run through suburban neighborhoods and cities that have the bridges necessary to cross rivers? I live in one of those cites and I know how STUPID the typical driver is. They are not going to wait for the train to pass when the guards are just coming down. This happens oh at least every 3 months. When that carrier car tips over what happens then? Now let us really think this through. Do yo really think that you can STORE very toxic material for thousands of years? We cannot think straight for 25 years into the future but suddenly we can do it for this? I beg to differ. Put it in salt mines! there is no water there! It's NOT TO CORROSIVE down there is it? We need to learn to live differently, don't you agree? Why do you think that you are ENTITLED to a personal version of the Status Quo. When some action within the world changes your factors you get all protectionist. How come you can demand hundreds of billions of infrastructure at the drop of a hat, yet leave teh financial sector alone because they have run the investment side of petroleum into a geyser of money flowing into THEIR pockets? I don't get you folks at times. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
