One of the few morally-acceptable options for population control via reducing number of children is increased standard of living (and also, in a virtuous cycle, improved education for women). And better standards of living are associated with strong infrastructure, which in turn is supported by reliable energy supply, which nuclear can supply.Joffanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18025437863119781181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-72093079283753908482011-06-07T15:44:42.106-04:002011-06-07T15:44:42.106-04:00Joffan.

So, the Germans who became ill or died--well, just part of the bigger plan.<br /><br />I do not mean to imply that all nuclear opponents feel this way about population. A significant number do, however.Meredith Angwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737538041807740424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-2865522943686219062011-06-07T15:08:03.153-04:002011-06-07T15:08:03.153-04:00There are two thousand Germans who would have been...There are two thousand Germans who would have been better off with irradiated food just recently...Joffanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18025437863119781181noreply@blogger.com
