The horrendous expense of "decommissioning" nuclear should be compared with the galacto-astronomical cost of restoring a moorland that has been covered with roads and bloody great concrete footings for wind turbines, AND had its original pH restored. If wind projects were required at the level of persnicketiness of the NRC to escrow for proper decommissioning, none would be built. Likewise, every gas turbine consumes 64 million tons of oxygen for every 16 million tons of methane burned. Ignoring the arguments about carbon dioxide, how does a gas turbine owner at decommissioning time restore the oxygen that we all need to breathe?AuldLochinvarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442624757865656195noreply@blogger.com
