According to a UCS survey whose findings were presented to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, more than 40 percent of the 279 scientists who responded said their work had been edited to more closely reflect the administration's position on climate change.


Well, at least he's not ignoring science anymore. He's just making science say what he wants it to say.

yeah there is. theres lots of support for nuclear power in america professionally.

first nuclear power is HIGHLY safer than it used to be. 3 mile island let out 15 curries. you get 500 in a common xray. chernobyl happened because the soviets did not know what they are doing. yes the plants now are old and would need to be redone. nuclear power is safe and highly effective. the only worry is terrorism.
also most nuclear waste are items like gloves and coats (i forget the technical name for this kind of waste). these are barely if at all radioactive but the government treats them like WMD's and guess what these deposits are all over the place a whole lot in texas

In the US alone, the DOE acknowledges that there are "millions of gallons of radioactive waste" as well as "thousands of tons of spent nuclear fuel and material" and also "huge" quantities of contaminated soil and water. The Fernald site in Florida for example had "31 million pounds of uranium product", "2.5 billion pounds of waste", "2.75 million cubic yards of contaminated soil and debris", and a "223 acre portion of the underlying Great Miami Aquifer had uranium levels above drinking standards".

I could be wrong, but million of gallons sounds like A LOT of waste

A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
