Environment & Energy

Anything packing energy is dangerous. Petroleum refineries catch on fire and explode with some regularity, as do underground gas lines. Electric lines spark fires and heat the atmosphere, and people do get electrocuted on a fairly regular basis. Dams collapse, windmills disintegrate -- nothing is perfectly safe, and the more energy it handles the harder it is to minimize the danger. That just a fact of life, for all energy technologies.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good -- and certainly not the best candidate we have at present.
