I’m glad we’re turning something so horrible into something positive but I’d still like more info on how the NFL and WWE — doing security sweeps for the Super Bowl and Wrestlemania, respectively — discovered Radium-226 in one neighborhood. It was apparently the site of a munitions factory during the Vietnam War but some sort of classified shenanigans were clearly afoot.

Holy shit that story is bonkers. It's like the secret of CHUD but real

I’m glad they found a good use for the land. I just hope that the company installing these solar panels will make sure that the workers are adequately protected.

they will all get fired when trump gets in and decides solar panels are toxic based on this solar plant, and also has other renewables shut down with this as the reason

Or because of some other, absolutely insane reason like… solar panels make jellyfish gay or something stupid like that.
