We must begin thinking like a river if we are to leave a legacy of beauty and life for future generations.

Is the minor convenience of allowing the present generation the luxury of doubling its energy consumption every 10 years worth the major hazard of exposing the next 20,000 generations to this lethal waste?

Some otherwise sane scientists have seriously proposed that we tuck this deadly garbage under the edges of drifting continents but how can they be sure the moving land masses will climb over the waste and not just push it forward?

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

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

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.

Let man heal the hurt places and revere whatever is still miraculously pristine.
