Three Mile Island was Carter at his best, the US is lucky to have had him making that call. Your post is very well written.

That's silly nonsense from stem-to-stern. First off, he made no "call": the power plant in question shut down according to by-the-book procedures hours before poor pathetic Jimmy had ever even heard of it.

Second off, the irrational hysteria he helped generate over the "dangers" of nuclear power that arose from that rather minor incident is part and parcel of a complex web of reasons why we're paying through the nose for gasoline--and electricity; and natural gas; and power in general--now.

You simply don't know what the hell you're talking about.
