Nuclear Overall Costs are Abysmal

Everyone thinks it is cheaper but the overall costs to produce nuclear fuel and the contamination hazards throughout the production cycle are not so innocuous.

I would think that if the tax payers were made aware of the costs to them via subsidies from start to decommission costs (in the billions) they would swear off beyond recall. Every nuclear plant has increased costs to the consumer and then there are the stranded costs.

It was reported yesterday that California Edison was purchasing 726 MW from Solar MIllenium.

Let's move into the future and stop living under the fear of another nuclear catastrophe waiting happen.

I have no trust in someone who plays with fire then claims the chances are small. If it goes wrong, we would NEVER recover.

It would take 10 years till completion and the billions invested for a penultimately DIRTY technology could be better spend on renewable infrastructure.

The quote for insuring americans with health insurance was a b0illion or so? How about the Billions spent in Iraq? Now billions for this?
We can't afford it.

Last but not least, the fear of a catasrophe is enough to relegate this primitive technology to the pages of history. One incicdent is avoidable if it is NOT built.

DON"T GIVE IT CHANCE TO HAPPEN!

NO NUKES

Will The Cheney/Bush Private Hit Squad Turn Themselves In? Running via private funds?

Seems like people are just showing up dead via Blackwater (now XE)? It could not be easily dismissed that private individuals could be responsible.

Especially since Bush/Cheney worked so hard to get Iran and Libya out from under U.S. Sanctions after the U.S. Iraqi invasion in 2003 so Halliburton could do business there after both countries were under sanction for years but prior this, Halliburton claimed immunity due to offshore business address.

Where is the media follow up to the private hit squad Cheney and Bush were running? We are all the media. Fear not death by private hit squad. Speak OUT. They can't kill everyone.

I doubt they would follow any international law as since they did not while they were in office.

Seymour Hersch Broke the story in a speech in Minnesota,
"It’s an executive assassination ring essentially, and it’s been going on and on and on," Hersh stated. "Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That’s been going on, in the name of all of us." from Raw Story

Socialism for all, not just for corporations Part deux


Well, we Have been subsidizing the motor vehicle for decades to the extreme. They built a huge highway to newark ohio i.e. 161 and it would have been a heck of a lot cheaper to build a light rail system that would not need all the attention and maintenance that a road requires, and they would not have those pesky RFID readers that the Bush/Taft administration installed.

Remember, it was GM and other large corporate concerns that killed public transportation and if you don’t accept this as fact, it has been proven without a doubt. I lived on an ELECTRIC trolley line as a child. Stop and think, oil is primitive as stone wheels.

Scientific Vs. Anecdotal Evidence, Pork and Disease, Factory Farms

We as individuals must make the daily deliberations that affect our society as a
whole. We need to make them intelligently and based on sound etiology.

We cannot be beholden to the a priori assumptions of science or religion. That
being said, it involves us educating ourselves beyond those, who with degrees
and bully pulpits, tell us that which is antithetical to reality and sound
logic.

Not with a loud voice but with the murmur of the daily task at hand do we affect
the world in small ways, brick by brick, mouthful by mouthful.

Granville, Ohio, Karl Rove, Still Not Arrested



April 16, 2009, 8 P.M.

Granville, Ohio
Denison University, Swasey Chapel  

by nation.of.gandhis

Karl Rove spoke to a subdued, mixed crowd numbering, 2-300. Sponsored by the Campus Republicans and a group called Young Life (America?).

I did see a vanity plate in  the parking garage from New Jersey with that on it, as in YGLFAM or the like.

In a liberal  arts college, the house was very civilized. The only outbreak was when a young fellow who had several male family military members involved in several wars asked Karl why we fight for human rights and then deny them for prisoners of war.

Karl spoke on the economy, and about his mistakes in the White House (should have gone for immigration stuff first then the Social Security), with the smirk of Cheney across his lips and nukular (sic) on the tongue. It was apparent he spent a lot of time with these guys. As to the specific content of his speech, it was main stream right, though not very condescending as one might presume. There were applauses from the right on their catch phrases.

He laid the economic collapse in the lap of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac even though McCain Campaign Manager Paid Millions To Lobby Against Regulation On Behalf Of Fannie and Freddie.

One of the questioners from Change For Ohio, asked Karl about the "martial law" threat on two republican members of congress, one of whom being Imhoff, for not following the party line, but was poo pooed by Rove and denied after the petitioner claimed to have video proof.

The arguments continued from Rove, as from the right, that our national debt has not been as high as it was since WW2.

(Well personally, I would think that economic excursion got us through many years of middle class progress.)

Of course he railed the high debt and all the consequences, but such forethought was not used before invading Iraq.

He did bring up the election theft of Ohio subject and added, "What did they think I had? I did not have some magic little black box."

Well Karl maybe you didn't but perhaps Mike Connell did.

Smoking/Canabis/Alzheimers

http://www.progressohio.org/page/community/post/OHliz/C2Sy/commentary#comment-CL4S

Well I wonder how much of the hemp plant had been emulated as decorations from calumets (peace pipes) of the past.

A onetime spokesperson for National Macrobiotics organization said that lung cancer forms in fat that collects around the lungs. That is where the tumors are found. The fat collects minerals and other toxins. The lungs can't clean that out.

So a high fat diet is not recommended, especially animal fat. And I have never heard of a blind study on vegan smokers, lol. I really believe tobacco is a scape goat for meat eaters. If tobacco is respected, it will teach one to be vegan.

The other observation I have is that now, for alzheimers prevention, they are passing out drugs called: Cholinestearase Inhibitors. What is nicotine? Same thing.

Apparently the blood pressure pills are now supposedly the cause of mental alzheimers.

And can we expend with the DEA's exclusion from environmental impact studies of hemp removal? PLEASE? I AM DEAD SERIOUS HERE. There is no study on how it affects deer population and other wildlife including birds who used to have 50% of their bird seed as hemp. Let alone the human population without work and who are poor and need employment. Water is the universal solvent.

Hemp is the universal solvent of economic disparity. But we can't have that now can we?

Besides WE NEED JOBS, both here in Ohio and around the world.
