“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity"
LLAW’s THOUGHTS & COMMENTS:
Tonight’s Post tells you more about my background and why I am anti-nuclear in every respect possible. It should not have ever been discovered, or when discovered never allowed to be used, but left in place in the ground exactly where it came from.
We need more subscribers to "All Things Nuclear". It is easy and it's free; just go to one of my daily posts and you will be invited to subscribe. All you need is an email address.
The nuclear situation is becoming extremely more dangerous daily, both from the threats of nuclear war as well as the ridiculous belief that more nuclear power plants are necessary because they are cheap and clean. Neither of those statements are true. The exact opposite is true.
Anything nuclear is a threat to all life on planet Earth and all things nuclear must be entirely removed forever from our existence in both the world's militaries' and the commercial power industry's operations.
I speak from parts of three decades in the commercial nuclear power business, from the mining and milling of uranium, the fuel source, to the selling of the unrefined fuel (U308) to the industry, both in the USA and to other countries. I left the commercial nuclear energy business not long after the 'Three-Mile Island' disaster in late 1979 when most nuclear industry corporate leaders, began their desperate war chant to survive, “Let the Bastard Freeze to Death in the Dark”. We were wrong then and we are wrong now. I am truly ashamed, even in my old age, to have worked for many years as a responsible part of the nuclear industry.
So experience and common sense tells me that we are playing with a power source that we don't fully understand, know how to use properly or safely, and gives the world(s) militaries and/or the commercial nuclear power generating businesses the intentional and/or accidental power of mankind to destroy virtually every living thing on the planet, including Mother Earth herself.
You ask, "Well, what can we do about it?" The probable best and only answer is for humanity to unite in a common global demand directed at the diverse world(s} of our nations' leaders to "cease and desist and destroy" all things nuclear. Three and a half decades ago the down under country and territory of New Zealand banned by imposing this Act against all things nuclear: The New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament and Arms Control Act 1987 is arguably the strongest anti-nuclear weapon domestic legislation in the world. It bans nuclear weapons and propulsion from New Zealand's land, sea and airspace out to the country's 12-mile territorial limits.
The rest of the world(s) must do the same to ensure our own, and other living creatures’, survival as a species. “We the People” are the only known faction that can make this happen. It will take unity from at leas 2.5 billion adults around the world. The Internet can help us do that — nothing else can . . . ~llaw

Lloyd, This is very discouraging. I am gratified to have information about what is really going on, however, bad news is what it comes to. Countries and their leaders will do what they will. When it comes to the crunch, individuals aren't those in power. Russia will do what it will to Ukraine, Israel will do what it will to Gaza., etc. I so wish the world would look more hopeful. Besides reading your post, I read this morning that artists, if they protest, are being punished by having their shows cancelled. I'm referring to artists specifically protesting Netanyahu's turning Gaza into rubble and thousands of Palestinians being killed and starved. This censorship is in the United States where we allegedly have free speech. I don't see what our options are. Sincerely, Shirley Gaines
