RE:RE:Pro-uranium minister kicked out of the Slovak government!Maybe Slovakians are satisfied with a subsistence level of economic development, maybe there is something to be said for accepting a second world standard of living in exchange for taking absolutely no risk so if a mining disaster happens somewhere on Planet Earth that is a definitive justification for never considering any development of a natural resource in Slovakia. I'm not necessarily being cynical or facetious - I mean this might be a more sustainable philosophy in the very long term, you just have to forego the prospect of prosperity and resign yourself to a basic and limited but quite viable and enduring standard of living in order to preserve your environment. How can Slovakia hope to move itself up a notch to a higher standard of living if it won't accept the risks involved in developing a natural resource? Maybe the country is enlightened enough to have considered that and has decided they are fine as they are, a Bhutan kind of anomaly in East Europe. I'm skeptical that they wouldn't act the same as humans in similar circusmtances generally act but who knows. Could it stand up to a threat to energy security, if Russian gas were cut off for a winter or two, might the conviction waver?
