True, the salt flats might become ocean again (but that makes digging up the
waste a bit harder).  Damn future, just why is it so hard to predict?

Not exactly pro-nuke, was he?

Problem is, he didn't say what we should be chasing for our energy needs,
even he admits fusion is a bit of a pipe-dream.  NZ isn't exactly the best
