3 Mile Island Unit 1 is a 50-year-old, out of date, dangerous, poorly designed, #nuclear power plant. It hasn't generated electricity for 5 years. The only way #Microsoft can afford to restart the reactor and use its electricity is if it is not paying the full costs of the risk of operating it, the cost of decommissioning it, the cost of dealing with the nuclear waste, and the risk of accidents. Who is going to pay for those costs? The public.


#Netanyahu, said #Israel will not rest until the remaining hostages are brought home.

“There is no place in #Iran that the long arm of #Israel cannot reach, & that’s true of the entire #MiddleEast,” Netanyahu said at the #UNGA.

“We are winning,” he declared, showing a map he termed “the curse” of Iran’s influence & another which he described as a blessing.

Netanyahu also called for an end to the “appeasement” of Iran. Adding everything must be done to ensure Iran doesn’t get #nuclear weapons.

If you follow #nuclear things, there are stories right now about how Finland is about to put the first nuclear fuel in “permanent" storage. They have been building the Onkalo site to put the spent fuel from their 6 nuclear reactors since 2004.

The key takeaway is that it is more than 80 years since we began generating spent nuclear fuel (the first was by the Manhattan Project to make the plutonium used in the nuclear attack on Nagasaki) and we still have not been able to put one spent fuel rod in "permanent" storage. Finnish waste is far below 1% of global spent nuclear fuel and it has taken this much to get the first rod underground.
