I, for one, wholeheartedly welcome our sex robot overlords...

(I gotta believe someone else posted this already but didn't see it)

It is NOT safe. It may be *safer* than some other choices (radiation release from fossil fuels is substantially higher than nuclear powered generators), but it is a stretch to call a technology that produces deadly by-products that last in some cases millions of years (plutonium) "safe".

The DOE funds research into nuclear in the BILLIONS, versus *even safer* energy tech like wind and solar. In fact, the DOE budget for clean renewable energy was in the millions while nuclear was in the billions. Why is this? Perhaps because of that nasty other side of nuclear - weapons.

Nuclear ran by a stable governmental agency *might* be capable of limiting and controlling weapons tech for itself and leaking to another country - I don't think this has happened yet. How safe can nuclear really be (Chernobyl and 3 mile aside) if by definition it helps other groups develop nuclear weapons?

Meanwhile, wind and solar are really on the cusp of being marketable *right now*. No nasty weapons tech by-product. No more waste disposal problem, etc. Just shift a few $bil to where we should be putting it and we are there.

browsers don't kill people, criminals kill people.

if we outlaw browsers.. hows that go?
