Help, please, from the scientists here. About the problem of nuclear waste

10. Thanks for this, too.

You state some of the issues quite clearly. My worldview was definitely shaped by the duck and cover era in school and books and movies like On the Beach.

We have had some great and some not-so-great movies about the dystopian futures awaiting when the climate collapses: Silent Running, Soylent Green, Blade Runner, the oddly heartbreaking WALL-E and, I understand, Waterworld, which I have never seen. It's hard to make people see the incremental effects of pollution. Bombs and meltdowns dramatize more easily.

I read a lot of science fiction when I was a kid and have been grieving over nature's demise - without facing up to it - since I was 14.

Now I am furious about the time we are wasting fighting the evil stupidity of our government. The collapse is here and we are fiddling.
