    Concrete and nukes, since the conversation drifted in that direction momentarily:
    Back in 1986 what do you think the Soviet Union encased the Chernobyl nuke reactor in after it melted down? That's right concrete. The concrete tomb they constructed has a 30 year life span; 2016 it's kaput.
    After the reactor crumbled, the Soviet Union crumbled.
    So Chernobyl is back in the Ukraine, and now they need 1.4 billion dollars to construct a new steel containment dome with a 100 year life span. Of course Western European countries have to foot the bill, after all they're the ones who are going to be breathing the fallout again if they don't:
