It's "funny" how much nuclear has to plan and prepare and care about its waste while Petrochemical companies get to just pump most of their waste, including radioactivity and mercury, directly into the air you breathe.

Ain't it funny how only the companies who aren't already rich have to do the stuff that protects people.
