Where To Bury Our Nuclear Sins

Of course it’s obvious that all nuclear waste storage should be managed by those who benefit from the electricity generated while producing the waste.  Those who benefit, and their children, and grandchildren and great grandchildren an on and on for 100,000 years, should care for the waste.  But that never happens.  Here is how greedy idiots propose to deal with Canada’s nuclear garbage.  They plan to take waste from nuclear plants on the shores of Lake Ontario and store it in deep limestone deposits on the shores of Lake Huron.

But wait…Lake Huron is upstream from Lake Ontario.  The nuclear wizards haven’t considered the concerns of souls in Sarnia, Windsor, Detroit, Buffalo, Niagara Falls or even Toronto for that matter.  These folks are all downstream from Lake Huron but upstream from the nuclear mess on Lake Ontario.  My advice?  Never move your garbage upstream.  It is obviously beyond stupidity.  You end up drinking your own mistakes.

And burial in limestone?  Limestone is extremely porous and totally dissolves in the acidic waters that are the product of global warming.  There is no such thing as a competent waterproof limestone bed.  Who are these imbeciles?  They spent years discovering that even granite plutons have cracks.

I’m guessing that NIMBY holds the answer (Not In My Back Yard).  None of these incompetents live anywhere near the proposed storage site on Lake Huron.  Their lights are still burning brightly.  It hasn’t occurred to them that they are crapping in their own source of drinking water.
