This is a follow-up to an article posted a few days ago. There was a time when the public saw nuclear power for what it is---powerful but potentially dangerous. That's the short-term assessment. In the long term, does anyone really think that burying radioactive waste in rural areas is not going to come back to haunt future generations as mankind continues to sprawl across the globe?

Today's politicians riding the wave of climate change ideology are pushing nuclear as "safe." 

It's not.

Sooner or later the lie will catch up with us. And it won't be pretty.
