OBAMA WILL SEND NUCLEAR WASTE TO AUSTRALIA

February 18th 2010 00:24
Strange that Obama is subsidising huge nuclear plants in Georgia while his government is panicking about nuclear waste. The country has been unable to contain it safely. The huge waste facilities in Washington State are leaking into the Columbia River. They have attempted to contain it with single skin steel, double skin steel, ceramics, and even taken the water out of the earth around them and removed the radioactivity, but still the muck leaks into the Columbia River.

My assertion is that America has told Australia to take the planet's nuclear waste. Prime Minister Howard was in secret meetings with the Bush administration in May 2006, and since then former Prime Minister Hawke, known for his astute and profitable lobbying of governments, has been vocal on the idea, as has power minister Martin Ferguson and Australia's sometime UN rep, Gareth Evans.


In the short term it would be profitable to take the planet's waste. We are also the perfect choice, being a nation of passive individuals living in a vast and remote country. However we have to understand that the waste has to be kept for 500,000 years. If we bury it we will forget it. For instance no one knew what the pyramids - only 8,000 years old - were built for. It's only British archaeologists who discovered the why 200 years ago. The pyramids are the oldest buildings built by the human race on the planet.

This means that as countries change governments, people, etc., there will be no memory of burying the stuff, and it will leak. No container will last 500,000 years. Oh and do we expect payment for looking after the stuff for that long?

AND GUESS WHY OBAMA IS COMING TO AUSTRALIA
