I am not, and have never been, a supporter of nuclear power simply because there is no way to dispose of the waste that won't cause, I believe, the environment of the people of the world to deteriorate. Too often, I firmly believe, science produces something that looks good at first but in the end hurts us as more scientific discovery leads to the revelation of hidden truths reality provides. That is the case with nuclear waste. Creating the power plants and nuclear weapons was something new that was used without considering the need to – or knowing how to – dispose of the nuclear waste the plants and weapons generated. Now it is guess work.

The United States, along with other world powers, trades in nuclear material. Treaties are struck to supposedly control the manufacture of nuclear weapons but not all countries sign the treaties. The United States has facilitated its' allies (Israel for one) to build nuclear weapons while working to prevent countries like Korea or Iran to possess nuclear weapons. Therein lays the problem. Who decides who is responsible enough to have nuclear weapons? For now it is America - first - and those countries who have signed treaties created by our government. Just because we have more bombs we are calling the shots. That seems very dangerous to me because there is absolutely no way to prevent anyone from getting a nuclear weapon if they really want one in spite of our best efforts and all the treaties we have.

I equate a country procuring a nuclear weapon with a person in America wanting to get a handgun. If a person really wants the weapon, and can pay for it, then that person will eventually get the weapon.....it is just a matter of time. The fact that the United States has the most bombs and does things like invading Iraq (sticking our nose where it doesn't belong), as well as having more permanent military installations in foreign countries than any other country's government, makes us a constant threat to the entire world. That is the very reason our allies have nuclear, chemical and biological weapons while our enemies constantly seek access to them. No one wants to hear another person say, "I'm the boss of you". Especially a rather young country that had the smarts to invent weapons of mass destruction first and then uses the threat of having those weapons to rule the rest of the world while smiling and telling everyone they have nothing to fear from us unless they don't do what we say.

President Obama's budget includes more monies to be spent to renew our tritium supplies.
