Passing Thought No. NUK

Like the highly respected doctor and scientist, James Lovelock, a number of Republicans are also in favor of building more nuclear power plants.

What is to be made of that?

It can't be, however, that they do this for the same good reasons that Lovelock sees. Instead it has much more to do with the dollars offered to them by the nuclear industry, and with the fact that they don't like the people who condemn nuclear power.

All the same, the Repubs have not been known to recommend to their supporters in places like Grosse Point, Michigan, Potomac, Maryland, or Oak Park, Illinois storing nuclear waste in their backyards.

I wouldn't either.

Instead I think that, if they can't be released, those are perfect places to which the remaining prisoners at Guantanamo at least can be moved, before that base is at last returned to its rightful owners, the Cubans.
