whats the old proverb, may you live in interesting times
the pragmatic goal for anyone w/ or w/out a tinfoil hat being,… “may you live thru interesting times”[/quote]
Can’t agree more. This is one of the things that I think banning won’t prevent. The knowledge is already out there. It might be better to think of how to defend against it. I like the link you provided. Did a read on your quote, and bookmarked the link to get back to it for a more thorough read. Here are two more links – one to the effect that putting a ban in place really won’t stop development.
The rest of the article is mostly about two near future military scenarios, I just included the tech stuff that seemed applicable to topic at hand!
FWIW if you want a related scary BOT SoCal specific scenario consider the nuke waste @ san onofre being breached,…
(SEE THE FOLLOWING LINK) of a PDF was sent to me by a neighbor of sorts who has been very active trying to stop unsafe nuke power (especially after what happened in japan),… as a matter of fact, he organized a conference here in San Diego and played chauffeur to the mayor of fukushima who was here to discuss the “issue”
w/ improvised frag devices that punches holes in the 5/8″ thick containment vessels, and due to its geographic location this creates chock point on a major transportation corridor,…
OR considering Murphy’s law,… in the long run the waste (in thin walled tin cans so to speak) the end result of a spent nuclear reaction which is far more dangerous than the input fuel or said another way “bad” byproducts as a result of power generation produce decay elements which are not as easily controlled as the purified uranium fuel (for a reactor),… just leaks out!!!
thus far it seems more like a real life halloween horror story WRT management of this and other stuff because as long as stupid $hit like this goes on…
we are on a down ward trend!… basically as I see things the root cause/solution is money (which right now keeps the system working, but eventually as I see things it will blow things apart because there are not enough reserve$ to address issue that arise when shit happens)

As budgets are squeezed, what are state and local governments cutting? Core services, including higher education, social services, public assistance, welfare, recreation and libraries, health, public works, and in some cases, public safety.
