    There exist no technology that can clean radioactive waste or contamination.
    Plutonium and its 1,000 radioactive byproducts will remain radioactive pulsating radioactivity near the speed of light. It will continue to emit radioactivity for billions of years.
    How many people ate radioactive fish, frogs, and went swimming and drank from the MISSISSIPPI RIVER NEAR THE Minnesota nuclear power plant radioactive water mega leak into the Mississippi River?
    This is crimes against humanity and ecocide.

    There are hundreds of wildfires blazing across the US as well. Are the fires in the US smokeless? No one can control which way the wind blows. The smoke from the fires in Oregon was blowing north into Canada a few days ago. Many of the fires in Canada are in wilderness areas where there are no roads. Try to understand how difficult it is to put out fires that are far away from water sources and how many planes it would take to be able to get them out. Instead of spending tax money on more of these planes to help put out US and Canadian fires, we’re expected to pay for more monuments and a golf course for the PDF in chief. Let’s not forget the tax cuts for the wealthy. God forbid they pay their fair share so that there’s money to help this problem that’s only going to continue to get worse due to climate change.

    I’m sorry. Did y’all say this an act of terrorism? Apparently some folks don’t understand that lightning strikes started these fires in Minnesota and spread into Canada. I used to live in northern Michigan. Boyne city/ Charlevoix/ Petoskey. We had smoke blow across the lake from Wisconsin. Wow.

    AAY Come on Canada! Hire a fire department AAYY. Can't we sue Canada at the UN for all the Global Warming, AAYY? Don't make us come up there and do it for you! We need to charge a tariff. That'll get'em going on this. Lazy Canadians!
