Why not make an Olympic bid be for 20 years, 5 games? With summer and winter bids offset, so for instance you'd have Paris be the summer games city 2024-2044 and Vancouver 2030-2050, something like that... Would give plenty of time to monetize the infrastructure investment, but not so long as massive repairs are needed...

While we're at it, all projects should include plans and funding to convert Olympic facilities into good quality low cost housing after the 20y are up, why not...

Just insulting people will always make them buck against your points, however valid and informed. Bad approach.

The problem with radioactive waste isn't the fact that it's dangerous now, it's the fact that it remains dangerous for much longer than we're even remotely able to plan for. People will likely have to deal with that danger in waaaay longer than civilization has existed on earth so far.

So the horizontal borehole for instance: amazing idea for the next century - or even, heck, few millenia!! - but how do you make sure our ancestors in 50,000 years never drill a new borehole right there?
