  Another way of being

  We should be wary at this turnaround announcement as if it's more than likely the excuse to further reinforce 20th century energy in our current myopic way like nuclear power, to quote energy industry execs, the one's to gain in the short term only by the nuclear choice,:
  "We've probably never had a better situation," Energy Exec said in an interview, predicting that 60 or more new reactors may be built in the United States with several designs finding customers" Quick do a needs vs. wants assessment;  do you want a nuclear plant in your backyard; do you need to keep your giant house at 65 degrees in the summer and 79 degrees in the winter

  Nuclear still causes environmental disruption before it's spent and eons of nuclear waste once it's spent.  Why are we ignoring the critical waste issue as we so conveniently do with most of our garbage; have we lost sight of tomorrow?   Some environmentalists are even backing the other nuclear option; maybe they don't want to make any sacrifices either?  

  Do we really need to feed ourselves mass quantities or drive endlessly in pursuit of the new/ bigger/ better thing?   We need to change our personal habits our choices, we must leverage our grateful and responsible actions so we can in turn create, support and implement policy that is responsibly sustainable; we need to require the same of our politicians.  Our habits are still stuck in the 20th century; it is time to evolve- it's a matter of life.On USA Today says the globe is warming! posted 4 years, 5 months ago 2 Responses
