I'm still a little wary. Disposal of nuclear waste isn't necessarily something you want going to the lowest bidder- just look at Trafigura's track record for "safe" disposal of highly toxic materials.

I'm all for making use of power sources that need less oil, coal and fossil fuel, but with the callous disdain for environmental standards shown by plenty of corporate concerns I'm not entirely comfortable with putting more nuclear waste out there for people to play with.

Why do we have no politicians as pure in their intent and determinedly joyous in their outlook as Arkady Bogdanov of Red Mars?
