Limestone Legislators

Canada’s Federal Legislators in Ottawa are a bit jumpy because their limestone Parliament Buildings are falling down around them.  At the same time they are assuring voters that it is perfectly safe to store nuclear waste in the “impervious” limestone on the shores of Lake Huron.

Sorry folks, but limestone is extremely porous and it falls apart after a hundred years or so when exposed to moisture.  Nuclear waste is a 100,000 year storage problem.  To make matters worse, Al Gore’s Global Warming smoke (carbon dioxide) dissolves limestone in a flash.

Sad to say that my generation built the nuclear plants.  Today nobody knows how to run them.  They cannot even figure out what to do with the radiating waste.  Storage in limestone?  Give me a break!
