I'm more worried by the apparently open ended cost of public sector final salary pensions. Anything else pales into (almost) insignificance.

The government can, if things get really bad, decide not to pay this.
They can't decide not to dispose of nuclear waste left behind by a bankrupt power company
tim
yes they can.
We have been living with the nuclear waste left by God for millenia.
A bit more is um..neither here not there. Well its there--> MOSTLY.;-)
frankly, provided its below critical mass..i.e. you ripped out the fuel rods and sorted them out for reprocessing, or ground em up and dsipersed them down some suitable mine - filling what's left with cement and leaving it is a very low cost and safe option.
But it is relevant to your response about replenishing what you take out.

Fling the bloody stuff out in space, that's what I say ! Take a container-full up in the space shuttle, then push it off in the general direction of the sun. Gravity will get it in the end. Doesn't really matter whose, as long as it's not the earth's ... :-)
Now what was that TV series called with Martin Landau and Barry Morse in it ? Space 1999 was it ?

Complete and utter bollocks.
Of course ONLY truly independent experts can be believed and that excludes anyone who works for an "official" or public body or has ever received grants from an Official body ! ie all the scientific experts around .

Thereby impoverishing pensioners even further.
Ah! A lot of impoverished public sector pensioners could be gainfully employed to do the cleaning up.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Man at B&Q" saying something like:
Save in the cost of PPE and they die early.
Win-win, in my view.
That's not a good solution. Two reasons:
(1) It's expensive to get heavy stuff into orbit.
(2) Challenger.

Yes - you should really be going the *other way*. Deep ocean trench
30,000ft deep subducted into the earth's mantle sorted.
Do you get more useful work when burning money, than was required to make it?
