Irv Mills – Pete Newton – Peak Oil
What up everyone!! Here’s a great chat with Irv Mills an expert and blogger on the topics of Peak Oil, energy, economy, environment and resilience.
It’s not a goofy/dick/fart podcast that I enjoy doing so much; it’s a great discussion with a well informed and very interesting guy. He will make you think, that’s for sure!

This was really great. Nothing I didn’t know, but very good. Though, it didn’t cut deep enough, not as deep as Nicole Foss or JHK, Richard H. and some others.
BTW, anyone still having kids, are very stupid people.

Rick, you are so correct about having kids. I’m sorry to say that I have 7 grand kids to date and I have a good idea of what their lives will be like before they are my age, if they live that long. (67)
By then all of the nuclear plants will be closed, but the thousands of tons of radioactive debris will still be there and deadly hot. When there is no way to contain that shit, how do they protect themselves? How do they manage if it is 5C hotter? If all the aquifers are dry and the streams are polluted?
Yes, anyone having kids today are not doing them a service. They will have to live on our trash. I wonder what we will be called when they realize what we have done? Not Grandfather and Grandmother, I am sure. They will use a lot of expletives and probably hate us.

Radioactive ‘debris’ can be re-enriched to yield more fissionable fuel and depleted uranium (which is very much like naturally occurring uranium and not very radioactively dangerous).
Re-enrichment is not now economically viable because of the glut of enriched material available from dismantling weapons.

No nuclear plant would ever be built without government limits on liability.
The cost of insurance would be to great for it to ever be built. What will be the cost of the clean up at Fukishima? Will it be a trillion dollars and go on for decades?
