We’ll all be throwing spears soon.

And living in caves. And walking about barefoot. This is EXACTLY what the leftists want.

This is EXACTLY what the leftists want.

Hussein Obama is using the leftists as useful idiots. After he and his merry band of traitors finish destroying the US economy, Hussein will then show that he really does work for the Muslims, terrorists that is. Pressure cooker bombs and Muslim gang rapes of American women.

Coming to a town near you soon.

It would be a major undertaking to take down those domes. The rebar in there is incredibly heavy and it’s packed so closely together that you wonder how they found space to add the concrete.

They will likely just leave them in place and remove the reactors.

It may sound silly to those that haven't experienced the differences, but a dry 108 is still better than a humid 98. I drove from S. CA to Texas last August - the humid 98 degrees in San Antonio was excruciating compared to what I'm used to. And to make it worse - the humidity holds the heat in so there's no relief during the night, like there are in non-humid areas.

Even so, the humid 86 highs of Kentucky and Virginia were by far better than either other option - so that's where we are headed in a few years.

#18 Bar, 12” on center, 5000# mix, about 15’ thick.....they ain’t going anywhere, at least not soon. Oh, and thos reactors; they ain’t going anywhere for a long, long time. The morons have no idea of the “unintended consequences” of their insane, ideological decisions and desires. Liberalism is truly a chronic mental disease and the biggest threat to the very survival of mankind.

Well they could take the Safestore shutdown option which give them 60 years, but eventually the site has to be restored to a green site so the containment buildings will eventually come out. It's a real shame however that these units will be closed.
