Well, lucky you (and us) – this new and clean and cheap energy has been discovered … by the past generations for us – the nuclear energy. What the past generation failed to do is to ensure that we don’t grow to be the un-educated dolts we are, so we can understand how it works and why it is the best option that we presently have. And stop paying attention to blatant propaganda about the nUCULAR-end-of-the-world. (One would expect that the fear mongers would at least know how to pronounce the name of their ‘enemy’). And if they give you Chernobyl as an example – what a delight it would be – because the very Chernobyl IS the proof that even ancient nuclear technology, combined with poor maintenance plus total human negligence – lead to … actually not much. Go check on the facts of Chernobyl – don’t drink the cool-aid. More than 30 years ago US developed the best ever nuclear reactor technology known to man! Created a real-life FUBAR to test it and NOTHING bad happened!….and the Saudis shitted their pants and unleashed a total FUD campaign using foreign and domestic marionettes to do the fear mongering. IMHO restituting the nuclear energy IS the best gift we can make to the future generations … and to us.

BTW, I am a computer engineer. I don’t work for anything nuclear, I don’t have vested monetary interest in any such. Just have interest in getting the cheapest, cleanest, safest energy there to be had.

of course, you got it!

That’s a relatively shallow quake. Now if it were 7 or 10 miles deep I might agree with you. But 3 miles is borderline. If we keep screwing around with mother nature eventually she’s going to lower the boom on us. Mother nature always gets the last laugh! 😉

Too deep for fracking.
