TP. 93 NUCLEAR TRAINS

The transportation industry has amassed a giant armada of barges, trucks, and trains to move chemicals, fuels, and tools for fools across America since the Industrial Revolution Sunrise that began over 200 years ago. Ships take care of the international trade, while trucks move slightly more local freight than trains, and all of these consume huge quantities of diesel fuel for propulsion. So… in order to get environmental credits, the locomotives were converted to nuclear powered. Using a small nuclear reactor to generate steam and using steam driven turbines to generate electricity, most of the working components of the industry were reused. Gone were fuel tanks and heavy diesel engines, and the new, lightly shielded reactors were allowed to emit more radiation than normal. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, the Marshall Islands, the Nevada Test Site, 3 Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima disasters gave evidence that humans can receive much more radiation than previously thought. Additional data from the medical industry that hands out X-rays and CAT scans like candy at Halloween verified that most humans can tolerate 4 times the previous exposure than earlier studies suggested. It wasn’t long before the lobbyists representing the Oncologists got the US Government to relax their radiation standards and pave the way for installing mobile nuclear reactors with minimal shielding to transverse through heavily populated areas. It’s not like locomotives ever derail or spill shit in a town of 10,000. So the next time your at a train crossing and you feel a warm sensation and a metallic taste in your mouth, as your teeth start falling to your floor boards, your lethal exposure rate hasn’t been reached yet by current criteria. Take pride in the fact that your country and your lawmakers are doing all they can to corral global warming by installing green technology wherever they can. All aboard the Cancer Train, Ozzie! HA HA HA HA!
