A new type of Northern Lights - from garbage!!

OK. Let's say that you make a widget out of plastic and metal and sell it to some guy in Tanzania. That guy uses the product for what it was made and when, 5 years later, the product is no longer wanted, needed or working, the guy in Tanzania demands that you pick up the spent widget and throw it in the your own local garbage dump for him. I can hear you now... take a hike! You bought it, you used it, you throw it away. Right?

Welcome to the world of Con politics. Canada's Greatest Government (TM) signed us up, in November, to the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership. The Partnership goes like this:

We dig uranium out of the ground and process it into fuel for reactors around the world. The countries who buy from us use the fuel and when it is spent, and at its most radioactive, they ship it back to Canada so that we can dispose of it for them. Can you say: Big Holes in the Canadian Shield filled with ten million year old spent uranium? That is what you are going to get.

How come you didn't know about this in November or December? After all AECL was high up in the news cycle. Because CGG created the isotope controversy to cover it up.

Too bad, so sad, CGG. We know now.
