   Anti-liberalism is called being a reactionary. Look it up. It’s a way to react with a knee jerk and avoid thinking about the issues.

   For nuclear power, the whole point is to boil water, which makes steam, which turns giant turbines, which makes electricity, much of which is lost in the distribution system before it gets to end users, many of whom are wasteful. For this purpose the plants create spent fuel that, in the case of some substances, will be toxic for 250,000 years. No country has a safe place to put it, which is why it’s stored at the plants. Decentralized or distributed generation would be cheaper and generate power with superior efficiency but wouldn’t produce giant profits for giant corporations.

   Greed got us here.
