All the nuclear waste in the world would fit in Bill Gates' house. Also, there are advances in ways to recycle nuclear waste.

When they should dump it in his House. Or in Cheney's, your pick.

cracked. There's just no solution to that.<BR><BR>The second issue is what's 
known as lock-in. If you pump all that money into that sort of power station, 
you become dependent on energy systems of that kind. We think the energy systems 
of the future will be much more decentralised.<BR></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.scotsman.com/uk/Passionate-about-the-planet-.4090592.jp">The third issue is around proliferation. I don't believe you can draw a line 
between nuclear reactors for civil reasons and for use for weapons of war. If 
you tell people it's OK to have nuclear reactors, on what basis can you tell 
countries like Iran not to have them?<BR></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.scotsman.com/uk/Passionate-about-the-planet-.4090592.jp">The last reason is around the security issues and supplies. Is the uranium there 
in enough quantities, and how vulnerable is it to terrorist attack? In today's 
world, we are all very nervous about them being a very, very strong target.<BR></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E2AD9C0E-EFCA-4A32-9236-34C5F7D47CDD/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
