A wildfire at the government's former nuclear testing area in southern Nevada poses no threat of kicking up radiation, federal officials said Saturday.
National Nuclear Security Administration spokeswoman Kelly Snyder said the lightning-caused blaze was not burning near any site where 100 above-ground tests left radiation in the soil.
"We have all the locations mapped and know where the contaminated areas are and this fire is not burning near them," she told The Associated Press. "It's further than two miles from the nearest impacted soils."

Sometimes storms and fires are just storms and fires. I think that holds true here. Won't make a good book, but I like facts better than sensationalized fiction presented as if it were fact.

My question is:
When are we gonna utilize the reactivity of sea water to solar input as a source of solar generated energy? when will we learn that the uninhabited surface of the world's oceans is a better allocation of space vs. land for a solar generation plant? Really, when will we learn to harness the power of OCEAN CURRENTS to generate electricity? Lear how to use the unending power of oceanic waves to generate kenitic energies? Learn how to CAPACITIZE lightening rods and harvest their bounty?
ANYTHING BUT NUCLEAR RADIACTION?!
