Nuclear Weapons 234 - Where You Should Go To Ride Out A Major Nuclear War
I have been blogging about the increasing risk of World War III lately. Tensions are rising between the U.S. and Russia, both of which have thousands of nuclear warheads. Even a few hundred detonations of nuclear warheads might cause a nuclear winter that would bring down human civilization.

Radioactive Waste 197 - Swiss Researchers Discover Bacteria Rock Strata That Consumes Hydrogen Gas
One of the big problems with nuclear power is the fact that dangerous radioactive waste is left when nuclear fuel is consumed in a power reactor. Spent nuclear fuel rods are rapidly filling cooling pools all over the U.S. and the U.S. will have no permanent geological repository until 2050 at the soonest.
