The Elements of the Night
A poem by Jose Emilio Pacheco
Under the smallest empire which the summer eroded,
fall into decay the days, faith and expectancies.
In the last valley
destructiveness is glutted
in conquered cities, affronted by the ash.
The rain extinguishes
the woodlands lit by lightning.
The night leaves its venom.
The words fall apart against the air.
Nothing is restored; nothing returns
the green to the scorched fields.
Neither will the exiled water
appear at the fountain
nor will the bones of the angle
return to its wings.

Um thats just steam if your worried about the fuel rods we could use them for breeder reactors that can recycle the rods in till there harmless look we have many different types of reactor designs for both fission and fusion designs the ones you see now are actually the first gens from the forties we just use them because there easy to make choose produce and sell we have many different and cleaner isotopes to choose like Thorium Plutonium Strontium.

Do you think they're clever enough to figure out its just water steam and not radioactive steam? Idiots fear what they don't know.

Actually the reactors we use are first gen reactors we have multiple generations of nuclear reactors so uranium reactors are just primitive hell plutonium is a safer gen 1 reactor since it was the first breeder reactors which excelerated the half life quicker then what you would expect.

I've probably asked you this before, but what do you use as medium?

Great image - love the iconic simplicity of your work as always, all the better to convey a strong message.
Textures are great too - the pencil+paper fibres and the stippling rock.

Now the conservative crackpots on the radio here are saying that environmentalists are all socialist wackos....wait, they've always been saying that. But this picture states what's going on at the core of it, and in their words,"Saying it as it is." Good job with the depiction!

Actually nuclear reactors make steam not CO2 it takes one Golf ball chunk of uranium to do what four train cars full of coal can do in terms of both energy and clean energy and that was back in the fifties now imagine a modern thorium or breeder recycling reactor.

Heh, this sort of looks like my homecity. Too industrial for its own good.

Nope actually this is a myth not based on scientific fact.
