Coal Fire Plants? I live about 10 miles downwind thankfully from one. Far enough away where the soot isn't dumped on my home like the people who live within a couple of miles put up with. BTW if one of those blow? You can look for major death and carnage for at least a mile radius likely closer to two.
That leaves us gas fired plants? Very expensive. Nuclear in the long run is the cheapest and as long as operators follow the rules {many were taught in Navy reactor schools} you'll have safe operations. The true nuclear events in this area aren't at the reactor they're at the weapons processing plants usually flash fires. TVA has the reactors equiped to trip for almost any reason and every reason they trip off requires investigation before restart minimal time before restart usually three days.
Besides, I don’t think in reality they would allow Homer Simpson to work at nuclear power plant.
No doubt that is true. Looks like the thread has died down and many who were posting are gone and won't see further remarks.
There is not a week that goes by that truckloads, vanloads, etc, of illegals are not caught in or around our city. We are one of the main highways to other large cities.
Terrorists are being groomed and trained in Mexico to appear as Mexicans, speak spanish and have all the ‘papers’ they need to enter the U.S.
I know that people have been sighted ‘scouting out’ chemical plants so terrorist could possibly also have ideas about nuke plants.
Lol, believe me, I am not some conspiracy dork, just an everyday person with common sense and the knowledge that anything is possible in the world we now live in.
We need to use nuclear for process heat in refineries. The gasoline yield per barrel of crude would go up nicely.
