We can only pray. Oh, and petition, comment and vote, too.

I hope he does Borat and Ali g.
Does this factor for the potential cost of a disaster though, or the environmental costs of uranium mining?

These people aren't having children and therefore have nothing to do with child suicide?
Re:Sorry–organic farming is worse for climate change on Wednesday October 23, 2019 @05:30PM (#21339209)
This is obviously a bit facetious but would you consider a duck a pesticide? Small scale artisan farmers are always looking for better solutions and often find them. A distinction needs to be made between a true organic small producer and a conventional farmer chasing an organic label and those extra dollars per pound.

All excited for a rare scholarly article on soil structure and it turns out to be an episode of six feet under. Sigh.
Economics is no longer sane, if it ever was. Old wall st and new fintech combine to make a financial perpetual motion machine.

Re:Canada begins Small Modular Reactor strategy roadmap on Friday March 02, 2018 @02:02PM (#16504639)
In an ideal world it no doubt can be done very well and safely. The thing is ours is a world of owners and the safety of the process is going to be at least partially determined by the people who make the decision on whether guidelines are being met or not. In turn those people are answerable to the owners, are chosen by them and replaceable by them. Now we are talking about micro nuclear? There is nothing about the nuclear power industry that makes me think it is better or different than any other industry. That is where it gets scary for me. Especially in a political era that loves deregulation.

A million factors determine your trajectory long before you either do or do not prepare for this or that opportunity.
