All I know about thermal pollution is that if we continue our present rate of growth in electrical energy consumption it will simply take, by the year 2000, all our freshwater streams to cool the generators and reactors.

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.

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.

A great deal of pressure was then built up to remove me from the club and my resignation was, finally, a forced one.

People have alleged that I have inspired many young people over the years, but I say, it was just the opposite.

When people say, 'You're not being realistic,' they're just trying to tag some thoughts that they can't otherwise handle.
