Yucca and Gitmo and what they share
1.
Sorry, but I trust Amory Lovins of RMI, not you, as the expert on the economics and ecology of nuclear power. Please read his article, "Forget Nuclear", at http://www.rmi.org/sitepages/pid467.php

2. Seriously, how much are you guys paying this dingus? And why?
3. If the LA Times ever succumbs, the post-mortem will find Jonah Goldberg as the largest waste of money. Simplistic half-truths do not make an argument. Do some research for a change.
4. Dude, your my hero! You're sooo stealing money...How can I get such a gig?
5. Nice try, but it still reads like two stories grafted together.
6. Many appear to misunderstand the Geneva Conventions (GC) and the status of POWs. GC establishes norms for treatment of POWs, but access to criminal courts is not among them. POWs are NOT criminals. The US has never afforded POWs access to the US criminal justice system. A great failure of some US leaders has been to "criminalize" terrorist and other acts of war. During WW2, the US held thousands of German POWs ... these POWs had no access to US courts. German POWs returned home at the war's end. However, had WW2 dragged on for decades, the US would have continued to hold these POWs.
7. Yes Mr Goldberg, how dare you use bigoted terms like ecologist and feminist! How dare you speak factually and remind us of any inconvenient truths... As for GITMO not being a good name and the US needing SMART leadership... Translate that to: if only US leadership was willing to understand why they are mad at us we could reason with them and, as everyone knows, with good intentions and sufficient articulation you can even reason successfully with a serial killer... that is, if you're SMART enough.
8. All you need to power this entire country, right now, is 300 sq miles or solar. That's 17.3 miles by 17.3 miles somewhere, anywhere in the desert.. You are telling me we need to invade other soverieign countries to steal their resources to tide us over until we have hundreds of reactors, rather than build a solar plant in Nowhere Arizona? I agree you are a Republican toady spouting the party line for freebies. What do you get, a trip to Reno?
9. Using 2% of the US geothermal resource would provide 2000 times the amount of current energy usage of the US. Goldberg has no clue about alternative resources. Glowing in the dark is not the alternative to Global warming.
10. Goldberg doesn't live at Guantanamo. Nor does he live next to the piles of uranium mine tailings, the off-gassing nuclear reactors, uranium mills, uranium enrichment facilities, the nuclear weapons laboratories, the transportation routes for nuclear waste. Come on out to Santa Fe and have sip of plutonium contaminated municipal well water. No analysis of the relation between commercial reactors and reprocessing of spent fuel for nuclear weapons, the missing inventories of plutonium, the vulnerability of reactors and spent fuel pools to terrorist attacks.
