Nuclear power: the worst way to boil water
nuclear power poisons life and requires fossil fuel
- enrichment energy
- doesn't suck down carbon
- waste is a terrible thing to mind
- electricity only a part of the energy crisis
- solar = steady state economy
- Hubbert - solar but beyond growth and money, not mentioned much by climate movement
Atomic fission is the most dangerous way to boil water. Only time, lots of it, can detoxify nuclear waste.
indigenous perspective
basic call to consciousness
most uranium deposits on or near native reservations (often least productive agriculturally - reason they were set aside) - four corners, especially
peak uranium around 1980
new nuke dump proposals - Yucca Mountain, New Mexico Texas border, tailings (Rio Puerco disaster)
