The issues and future prospects that surround the ever-growing nuclear power and arms industry threaten our daily lives and bring up an important question: is the human race insane? This conclusion can be easily drawn by anyone who has observed the rapid building of nuclear power plants on this continent and others, and by the increased arms sales to underdeveloped nations. Most people in today' s society are aware of the capabilities of nuclear arms. They realize that there is enough weapons between the United States and the USSR to blow this world to bits 28 times over. But, for some reason, not too many people take this possibility seriously. Of course, there are the few scholars, scientists and humanitarians who are well versed on the dangers of the nuclear situation. This year's me.eting of Pugwash scientists predicted nuclear war before the end of this century. Canada's disarmament expert and consultant to the United Nations, William Epstein, believes we may only have 25 years to achieve disarmament. Or die in the attempt.
These sometimes dire predictions go largely unheeded by the world's population. The predictions seem also to have little effect on most countries' policy concerning the production and sale of nuclear arms and other related equipment and weapons. · Pentagon figures released last week show that the U.S. sold a record amount of military weapons t~ foreign countries last year. Not all of these were nuclear weapons of course, but it indicated that the arms race is not slowing down, and may instead be accelerating.
The other half of the problem--nuclear power plants--is also increasing in magnitude as the plants are being built at a prolific rate around the world. In these days of the "energy crisis'', nuclear power has come to be considered by some as the best and perhaps only alternative energy source. This attitude can lead only to increased problems concerning the future of our environment, and in the end, our planet. EDW.UAL Nuclear power plants cause numerous and serious problems wherever they are built and are a potential disaster area. The waste from the plants can be extremely dangerous and the method of disposing it is still not safe nor practical. The plants are costly and any repairs to them can be very expensive. ------PERSPECTIVE------There are other potential sources of energy--solar energy has still not been given serious consideration--and the need for A ''name the punk rock . exciting things happening and he drank the whole time. nuclear power plants is, at best, dubious. band" contest is our newest ar~und here, and it upsets us He tells us he is now planning a Cannot the governments of this world see that if the present ploy to get some response from when we don't hear about "series of lectures called econo situation continues nuclear holocaust is inevitable?
