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.

Without wilderness, the world's a cage.

Even if you build the perfect reactor, you're still saddled with a people problem and an equipment problem.

I believe that the average guy in the street will give up a great deal, if he really understands the cost of not giving it up. In fact, we may find that, while we're drastically cutting our energy consumption, we're actually raising our standard of living.

Perhaps most ridiculous of all is the suggestion that we 'keep' our radioactive garbage for the use of our descendants. This 'solution', I think, requires an immediate poll of the next 20,000 generations.

It seems that every time mankind is given a lot of energy, we go out and wreck something with it.

We are no longer inheriting the Earth from our parents, we are stealing it from our children.
