What may be America's most dangerous, decrepit and disastrous nuke is facing Judgment Day. And it could cost you both your money and your life. The infamous Davis-Besse reactor, near Toledo, is at the breaking point. It is poised to lose hundreds of millions of dollars for its owners and Ohio rate payers. So, of course, the "free enterprise" Republican legislature is poised to give those nuke operators a massive bailout. To the tune of more than $4 Billion (that's not a typo).

Natural Gas is cheaper. New gas plants far in excess of DB are under construction. Ohio has tremendous wind resources, far in excess of anything we will ever need and far more than it would take to replace DB. Thanks to spectacular technological advances in recent years, that wind power—along with new solar panels—is cheaper, safer, cleaner and more reliable than the nuke, and would create thousands of jobs beyond the few hundred at Davis-Besse.

Canada is becoming a major

BANGKOK, Thailand -- Alzheimer's and dementia can be triggered by
small silent strokes caused by high blood pressure, but "birthdays are
dangerous" and can be fatal for elderly people, warned a World
Federation of Neurology former president.
   "We can begin preventing some dementia by preventing strokes.
That's the big news," said Dr. Vladimir Hachinski, a clinical
neurological sciences professor at Canada's Western University.
   "The cutting edge, the big thing about Alzheimer’s disease, is that
with Alzheimer’s disease, pathology is very common -- a lot of people
have [Alzheimer’s] pathology -- but you need a trigger. And the
trigger is stroke," Dr. Hachinski said in an interview.
   "It doesn't necessary have to be clinical stroke.  There are little
silent strokes.
   "So the big news is that you can prevent the Alzheimer’s pathology
from becoming dementia by treating the risk factors and preventing
stroke."
   Dr. Hachinski specializes in stroke, vascular dementia and
Alzheimer's, and helped establish Canada's first acute stroke unit.

Trump – Putin could rescue the world – and win the Nobel Peace Prize

Donald Trump has promised to repair America´s infrastructure and to lower taxes. We all know this is undoable, and yet – it could be done. Trump has one way to raise the required funds, and create a safer world in the bargain: talk with Russia on a global initiative for co-operation and disarmament, then get China to join. Astronomic funds would become available to meet the needs of nations and citizens everywhere. Seeing the advantages ought to get all other nations on board. All nations, all weapons, big and small; the paradox is that this will prove easier than step-by-step approaches.
