Subject: Re: Environmentalism & the US Constitution Ruth,
I wrote a few sections of that GEIS
(Rock Melt, etc). If you can track the conclusions from its contents,
I'd like to know how. As I recall, the conclusions were pretty much
predetermined, and the voluminous contents were intended to give the impression
that a thorough evaluation of possibilities led to those conclusions. As far as
I'm concerned, the whole thing was a fraud! It did however change one mind-- my
own. I started the project as an advocate of Rock Melt (I invented it), and
finished as a proponent ocean disposal* based on its safety and
cost-effectiveness. Best regards, Jerry
* Not sub-seabed disposal (which Sandia advocated), but
just simply dumping it in deep ocean trenches. If you do the math, there is no
way significant dose consequences could result--and it would be easy to do.
Perhaps not politically easy, but certainly technically.
