- As John said in the rest of his article, had you taken the trouble to read it,
- if we used breeder reactors, the so-called "nuclear waste" we've got lying
- around already would make it unnecessary for us do dig another hole in the
- ground for the next hundred years. Perhaps ideology has gotten in the way of
- your literacy?
