All technology should be assumed guilty until proven innocent

Have fun saving the world, or you are just going to depress yourself.

Apollo 13, as you may remember, gave us a reactor that is bubbling away right now somewhere in the Pacific. It's supposed to be bubbling away on the moon, but it's in the Pacific Ocean instead.

What we are finding out now is that there are not only limits to growth but also to technology and that we cannot allow technology to go on without public consent.

There are many different kinds of radioactive waste and each has its own half-life so, just to be on the safe side and to simplify matters, I base my calculations on the worst one and that's plutonium.

Without wilderness, the world's a cage.

Yet another proposal would have us rocket the waste into the sun, but, as you're probably aware, about one in ten of our space shots doesn't quite make it out of the earth's gravitational field.
