You don't think about the practical practical problems a person might face when they are going through something so soul wrenching.

I'm grateful to live in a world with people like you who willingly endure terrible things just to help others. You made the world a little bit better for everyone & you also made a world of difference to a handful of people & those who love them. You have done more good for this world than most others ever can.

How are you?

I can't imagine how difficult the past few years have been. Is there anything you need which you don't have, or anything which could have helped which you didn't get when you needed it?

I don't know why the program keeps your identities secret, and they should at least explain it to you. What you did was so powerful that I guess people can have all types of strong reactions.

You did something wonderful. I know there is a hole in your heart & I pray the other parts of you of can grow and thrive.

That hole is how I model grief.

It never goes away, but as you continue to grow it can become smaller relative to the rest of who and what you are.

The only way I know to feel better is to lean into life & live. Love yourself as much as you can and love the people around you. There is a lot of good left to do. It's how I fight back if that makes sense.

Thanks for being here & thank you for telling us.

My biggest issues with the waste argument is it's not applied to the alternative sources of power.

Good luck containing all the toxic and carcinogenic and radioactive material released from burning coal for one day much less 10,000 years. We ignore the problem because it's acceptable to dilute the waste in the atmosphere we breath.

Nuclear waste should be considered an asset, that it's very small volume is collected in one place & we even have the possibility of managing it.

I'm pretty sure that coal alone has released more radioactive material in normal operation than every nuclear accident combined & it was not a close race. That is of course only radioactive material, and does not include toxigenic or carcinogenic chemicals that don't even have a half life, and of course that does not include the green house gasses.

Somehow we got the worst of both worlds and the best of neither.

I remember at the time a lot of criticisms were dismissed as sexism.

Part of the problem is people had more faith in the patriarchy than they did in physics.
