Are we CRAZY?

Monday, June 27, 2005

Making Plutonium. Okay, so we planning to produce plutonium again. What can it be used for? Well no one is saying but it can be used for powering spy devices and of course nuclear arms, satellites and weapons in space.

Here we are looking to block Iran, N. Korea and others from nuclear weapons while we are increasing our stocks. Why?

"The real reason we're starting production is for national security," Timothy A. Frazier, head of radioisotope power systems at the Energy Department, said in a recent interview.
But of course! Use "National Security" and fear to get everyone to agree.

Sure "Plutonium 238 has no central role in nuclear arms" but it it used to "...used it regularly to make nuclear batteries that worked for years or decades. Scores of them powered satellites, planetary probes and spy devices, at times with disastrous results."

One speck inhaled can cause lung cancer. Why take the risk?
