The powerful and well-funded nuclear industry would scoff at this, but peak oil means peak everything else, especially in mining which takes a huge amount of energy, and where the highest grade ores, and easiest shallow ores have already been exploited. Nuclear power wastes are still not stored ANYWHERE, Finland will the be the first to start in 2024. And since both my books show why transportation, manufacturing, fertilizers and more can’t run on electricity, why would you want to poison the earth for a million years of future generations?
