Kneeling Glory's Birthday StoryBy seventy-five, if I have not shuffled off to the happy hunting grounds, I will have multiple books published and will be living in Vanuatu.
in dreamsyou are
whilst you dream
your true self

you find
in your dreams
your true path
All That Is 9
to amass wealth
is to multiply worries

to seek approval
is to become a prisoner

to seek exaltation
is to become a target

to know how far is too far
is valuable beyond measure
All That Is 8
of all things on earth
water is most similar to
All That Is

it seeks the low places
that humanity disdains
and yet without effort
it nourishes all

live therefore
close to the earth

think deeply yet simply
act with honesty and generosity
speak true and love justice

in work
follow your nature

be always present
and do not contend
When the Ravens Turn WhiteWhen we’ve

cut the last tree, and
poisoned the last stream, and
fracked the last of the gas, and
drained the last drop of oil, and
blasted the last mountain top, and
pulled the last fish from the sea, and

when we’ve killed

the last tiger for its hide, and
the last rhino for its horn, and
the last elephant for its tusks, and
the last dolphin for our blood-lust, and
the last whale for no good goddamned reason whatsoever,

and when

the last glacier melts, and
the last aquifer runs dry, and
the last modified crop withers seedless
in the last dusty field,

and when

the politicians have lied their last lie, and
spun their last

No, it is not. It just presents a different set of negatives that are ultimately more deadly, and more costly. Plus, it irresponsibly passes on the problem of its toxic waste on to future generations. It symbolizes the apex of human stupidity and arrogance.

Nuclear Energy can be safe and better to the environment when they change from Fission to Fusion energy.

When and if we figure out fusion, yes, then it will be, but the two processes are alike only in that they can be called "nuclear." Fission, however, is simply too dangerous, and was pursued only because profitable to some. I believe it constitutes a threshold we should have never crossed. And that's not taking into account that ALL nuclear development spring from weapons research. Nuclear is Pandora's Box.

I'm with you on this, Al. The nuke industry has been corrupt and mismanaged from the get-go. There are plenty of alternatives.

I'm sure there must be ground level people who are very good. Of course, that probably true of most troublesome industies; they're not the people causing the trouble.

And more importantly, as you say, there are alternatives.
