Christopher Mims Nails It on Nuclear Energy

"...through negligence and poor planning, two of the most technologically advanced civilizations on the planet -- the USSR and Japan -- effectively dirty-bombed huge swaths of their own territory."

That resonates.

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I saw Chernobyl Diaries yesterday. My only saving grace is to say that I saw it in the name of research. As a PhD student in actinide chemistry, how could I not see a popular film featuring the most devastating nuclear catastrophe ever?

But enough about my misgivings.

Tap, Tap. Is this thing on?

May I have your attention please? I have an announcement to make!
