Lisa! Trojan! heeheeheeI just looked up Hanford, and duh I always hear about the decommissioned aspect and the abundance of nuclear waste, am shocked to learn it still is operational.
from wiki: "The weapons production reactors were decommissioned at the end of the Cold War, but the manufacturing process left behind 53 million U.S. gallons (204,000 m³) of high-level radioactive waste that remains at the site.[5] This represents two-thirds of the nation's high-level radioactive waste by volume.[6] Today, Hanford is the most contaminated nuclear site in the United States[7][8] and is the focus of the nation's largest environmental cleanup.[2] While most of the current activity at the site is related to the cleanup project, Hanford also hosts a commercial nuclear power plant, the Columbia Generating Station, and various centers for scientific research and development, such as the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the LIGO Hanford Observatory."
A word about the Alaska oil field solutions. It is by far a "drop in the bucket" There is more un-tapped oil in Alaska then there is in the rest of the U.S. all together. There is more un-taped oil in the entire U.S. then there is in the ME. We should drill and exploit what we have, our in house resources could be on the market in 2 years. this is about sustaining ourselves without funding ME interests. After 10 years when we are using Hydrogen then we can sell off what we are not using for high density plastics (building skyscrapers) and any other numerous gadgets. Or too or not friend, friend china.
I personally am appalled by the quantity of garbage produced by the average American in a given year. And of course, all of that goes to a landfill to be buried. I refuse to take part in this process. And that is why I burn all my garbage in a barrel
that is actually pretty bad rusty... Unless you put it in a blast furnace you are sending a lot of crap up into the air. Ina blast furnace you get an almost complete burn.
I'd love to produce less waste. It involves buying less stuff. I'm working on it. It's not easy.Nothing worthwhile is.
I'm going to sound cruel, uncaring and ungrateful. I dont care that everyone (including myself) is killing the earth, us here who are speaking about it, wont be around to see it destroyed. Why worry.
Oh, come now. We can't kill the earth. A few hundred thousand years, maybe a couple million years tops, and it'll bounce right back. Of course humans will be extinct by then, but we're just a blip anyway.
I don’t believe in all the global warming hype, but if it turns out I’m wrong, and we kill the earth, I owe you all a Coke.
Because it will be very useful then, Rusty. When/or if we have killed the earth, pass around Cokes. Cheers.
I hear Coke goes good with Soylent Green.
Not true, Tom. Lemonade makes for a nice compliment to Soylent Green. When you're eating processed human flesh, you want a refreshing drink to wash down that gamy taste. Coke is way too carbonated for that.
I think it's a matter of personal taste. Personally, I find that Strawberry Quick is the perfect complement to human flesh.
Interesting.
Personally, a nice cold Pabst Blue Ribbon goes nicely with shards of flesh stripped from human buttocks.

Not really a drinking man these days, but I can certainly see the appeal there. Maybe serve it up with some steak fries.
Just remember, fat = flavor. So yes, I'd say an arneis or pinot gris definitely.
Oh, absolutely not. You'd NEVER serve vomit with human flesh. Or was that a response to the comment about drinking PBR?
How dare you besmirch the good name that is PBR, sir?
Pouring a Coke on processed human flesh will decompose it faster. Soymilk and Soylent Green for me!
So processed human flesh is like car paint, is that what you're saying? Does that mean my car's exterior color is that of processed human flesh?
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

I assume (Matt Groening grew up in Portland) that Hanford is actually the model for the Springfield nuclear plant on The Simpsons. The cooling tower was blown up a couple of years ago, and if it hadn't happened at 6 am on a weekday, I totally would have gone to watch.
ETA: Upon further review, I've conflated Hanford out in eastern Washington and the one that was on the Columbia about 40 miles north of Portland. Hanford: Still operating, and the most contaminated nuclear site in the US. The other one (I'm having trouble finding the name): Had the really cool-looking cooling tower which has since been blown up, still pretty contaminated, probably the inspiration for Springfield.
ETAA: Shit, yeah! I totally forgot about that! The one near Portland was called...get this, it's hilarious...the Trojan plant. So there's a nuclear plant and a condom named after the losing end of a war, in which their only notable success was sneaking in disguised as a gift, then spewing enemy soldiers (or enemy sperm, or enemy radiation?) in the dead of night when it was least expected. I'd just automatically assume that both the Trojan condom and the Trojan nuclear plant would leak dangerous stuff.
