there's over 400 nuclear power plants that will melt down if civilization collapses. We already have two-headed depleted uranium babies. Why shouldn't the future of the U.S. be no different than the future of Iraq and Yemen? Fukushima is still getting worse not better.
I know… “if…” is such a speculative term. Too bad you don’t know any better than anyone else, and you can’t even make a definitive statement about it. That’s the nature of wild guesses. Better to stick with the science, Void.
My dad was the Chief Deputy Officer of the Minnesota Attorney General and when he went back into private practice then the local nuclear utility hired him to defend against the MN Attorney General. The state of Minnesota wanted stricter "routine radiation emission" standards than the federal standard. In other words the current cancer concentrations around nuclear power plants is just fine as long as the corporate state media ignores it.
When I was 2 1/2 months old then I flew to Puerto Rico for vacation - I googled my dad's name in 2000 to discover this "precedent setting" case as I read later. In other words when I asked him about it he confirmed that the reason I had gone to Puerto Rico was a family vacation for him to celebrate the nuclear power plant victory. In fact the nuclear industry "science" that you want me to "stick with" is controlled by the elite private foundations and corporate military contractors.
A good book on this is "America By Design" by former M.I.T. History Professor David F. Noble.
"Hailed a “significant contribution” by The New York Times, David Noble’s book "America by Design" describes the factors that have shaped the history of scientific technology in the United States. Since the beginning, technology and industry have been undeniably intertwined, and Noble demonstrates how corporate capitalism has not only become the driving force behind the development of technology in this country but also how scientific research—particularly within universities—has been dominated by the corporations who fund it, who go so far as to influence the education of the engineers that will one day create the technology to be used for capitalist gain. Noble reveals that technology, often thought to be an independent science, has always been a means to an end for the men pulling the strings of Corporate America—and it was these men that laid down the plans for the design of the modern nation today."
And so David F. Noble got fired from M.I.T. and he proved in a lawsuit, backed by the American Historical Association, that his termination was for political reasons. Oh I should mention that in 1994 I got arrested protesting against the same nuclear power utility - for their plan to store nuclear waste on the Mississippi river on an indigenous reservation.
And the protests led to Minnesota passing a "Renewable Energy Standards" - unfortunately this enabled the nuclear utility to keep expanding their permit limitations. And so then in 1996 when I worked for Greenpeace I was sent out to Pine Ridge reservation at the invitation of Inila Wakan - and Inila showed up the local creek that he said was polluted by uranium mining.
You've heard of "environmental racism" right? So unless you personally want to mine uranium then you should also know about the "National sacrifice Zones" that Winona LaDuke taught us about in her "environmental racism" class at the University of Minnesota. In other words it's an official U.S. policy to just write off certain parts of the U.S. as permanently destroyed. There are to be "deep time" memorials set up. Yes liberals assume we have a future instead of taking the precautionary principle as Europe tries to practice. And so we assume that mining uranium is not genocidal when it already is. The testing of nuclear bombs is also genocidal and already has been.
The "collapse of civilization" goes against the teaching of Ghandi who stated, "Western civilization? It could be a good idea." “What Do You Think of Western Civilization?” “I Think It Would Be a Good Idea”
Oh I should mention that in 1995 or so I got arrested at the Navy Project E.L.F. site - a "first strike" nuclear weapons signal antenna - with one in Wisconsin and the other in Michigan. The system used ELF waves to contact deep nuclear submarines. It was a one way launch signal and therefore a first strike signal system. Project ELF did finally get shut down and I also got a warrant as I had not gone to the trial and my license had been revoked in Wisconsin. I paid the fine with vacation money from my job at Clean Water Action.
Apparently the IRS fined Clean Water Action for their misuse of "education funds" to be part of the protests against the nuclear waste storage on the Mississippi river. After that apparently the organization, where I worked for ten years, refused to protest and organize against nuclear power. I was told this by a former member of the Citizens Board who also was an anti-nuclear activist and so she quit the board.
Oh I would be remiss not to mention I got arrested at Alliant Tech - the largest manufacturer of land mines and depleted uranium weapons - and they were headquartered in the Twin Cities. I told the judge that the corporation charter should be revoked and he left the room, came back and then dropped all our charges. The protest organizer said I should have been an attorney. Pretty funny. That Alliant Tech did finally move their headquarters - after continual protests - to the Military Belt nearby D.C.
