Really? Let's test that theory.
Who was president during the Love Canal environmental disaster which displaced nearly a thousand families from a 10 square block area in New York?
Who was president in 1969 when NBC aired a documentary called "Who Killed Lake Erie?" focusing on the lake, which had been called "dead" by environmentalists due to high levels of pollution and algae?
Who was president during the Three Mile Island disaster?
Disaster? Chernobyl was a disaster. Texas City was a disaster. Bhopal was a disaster. TMI was a set of disaster prevention mechanisms functioning properly to prevent massive property damage and loss of life outside the plant. More people were killed by Ted Kennedy's bad driving skills than by the reactor malfunction at the TMI power plant.
