@thelastgherkin heh* It was at a grocery store of all places, and my mom noticed a crowd and thought that she'd get it for me. I wasn't with her. But she initially got them mixed up with their body guard lol*

@widget maybe, but it is still much better to have an already much cleaner natural gas, geothermal, wind, solar, ANYTHING. Coal is an extremely old, outdated, and dirty power production method. Think of all that dust...

@techdisk42 something something basic efficiency
Wednesday, 12-Sep-12 22:33:18 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark something something false american advertising.

@widget sigh... I really shouldn't be talking. Nuclear energy powers most of Ontario. Though it doesn't make immidate air pollution, those spent fuel rods...
Wednesday, 12-Sep-12 22:41:54 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 It's funny because an extremely safe method of disposing of fuel rods in a way that caused essentially no harm to the environment and posed no risk to humanity was vetoed by environmentalists in favour of storing them indefinitely around human habitation.

@ceruleanspark Sauce?
Wednesday, 12-Sep-12 22:44:01 UTC from web -
@ceruleanspark what would that method be?
Wednesday, 12-Sep-12 22:46:05 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 Nuclear.
Wednesday, 12-Sep-12 22:46:27 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Cerulean I did it, I took over Steelpots.
Wednesday, 12-Sep-12 22:47:35 UTC from web -
@ceruleanspark no. Way. But really, what did the environmentalists reject?
Wednesday, 12-Sep-12 22:47:36 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 There are types of reactors that run on the stuff other reactors consider "waste".
Wednesday, 12-Sep-12 22:49:16 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel but what happens to the waste from those reactors?
Wednesday, 12-Sep-12 22:50:10 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 They don't produce the kind that needs to be stored away for thousands of years.
Wednesday, 12-Sep-12 22:53:38 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel ah.

@techdisk42 Lead-sealed-and-then-vitrified-glass spheres disposed of at sea. Glass doesn't corrode, so baring catastrophic seabed upheaval, the internal lead containment can remain intact for as long as is required for the content to decay to harmlessness.
Wednesday, 12-Sep-12 22:50:43 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark hmm. That seems good. I can see why you might think it would be dangerous, but its a good idea
Wednesday, 12-Sep-12 22:51:48 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 In the end, we ended up storing the waste on an industrial estate somewhere in Oxford. Which is clearly way better.

@techdisk42 Shoot the fuel rods towards the sun with a massive railgun. #problemsolved #actionmoviestyle

@nerthos Outer Space disposal was only ever investigated by the US and abandoned because nuclear waste is freaking heavy, there's lots of it, and launchers are expensive. Whilst a railgun solves the first and last problem, it introduces the obvious new problem that no nation is seriously going to let anyone else build a giant railgun that shoots nuclear waste.
Wednesday, 12-Sep-12 23:07:20 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Yeah, that's the main problem with international politics. That would only be possible on a worldwide empire. There was research to use railguns to send supplies to spacecrafts, though, so those could be used. Still I think the best use for nuclear waste is to make depleted uranium for ammunition.

@widget We already /have/ a method that's cost effective, mostly clean, and has an excellent safety record.

@widget I think Canada is one of the leaders in nuclear energy, but don't quote me on that.

@widget Baby don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. No more.
