If you look to the right side of the link you can bring it up.

These inventions the author considers the most dangerous are the very items that have made modern civilization possible. I am not convinced that nuculear power plants are the threat that the anti nuke crowd insist that they are...

Ok, got it.

Interesting article. I only knew Edison (beyond the name).

My penny-worth opinion:

Plastic, the car, and power plants, - these things are toxic, but they are also beneficial.

The reason the world has a population of 7 billion right now, is because of cheap energy, quick transportation and cheap containers.

This gives us our present system of industrial development and distribution.

But I am not fond of nuclear bombs.
