So are ecofreaks. Totally unstable. All the time.

“Greenpeace was also concerned about the lack of information about the total amount of radiation already released, and whether the ponds for spent radioactive fuel - outside the containment area of the reactor - were secure.”

Because Japan wisely reprocesses their spent fuel, they probably have very little setting around, like we do. Thanks Jimmy Carter.

JEES THE FRENCHIES SEEM TO LOVE NUKES.... THEY have 56 working nuclear plants, generating over 75% of their electricity. The french people love them; nuclear plants bring jobs and wealth everywhere in France they're built. It's sort of embarassing to think that little FRANCE has beatin the pants off US in the race for energy independence. I don't like it that the US is second to anybody!

Great photos Cheetahcat, I haven’t seen those. I’ve argued until blue in the face with envirowackos about this PC power lunacy using available data and first hand accounts of ranchers/farmers that live (or used to) next to turbines (West Texas).

There are many dangerous problems associated with this technology as well as wildlife empact, but gee, since it’s green power, who cares....

Nothing like toxins wafting over the countryside from these fires. My guess would be bearing blow-out/overheating, shorts, lightning strikes (is that in the ball park?). Now add to that the sheer numbers of windplants that need maintenance, road systems, power grid, safety measures, etc., it’s a huge “footprint”. A

nd then my wife was wondering how firefighters can fight such a thing, good question.

Thanks for this food for thought.

The gear technology they use heats the lubricating oil very hot and there is a lot of it up there to burn.

And so is coal, oil, gas, hydroelectric, wind, solar and geothermal.

They are against all forms of energy that are really useful. Have you ever augured with one of these idiots from Greenpeace? I have and it's like talking to a brick wall. In fact a brick wall is more intelligent. These people want to destroy industrial society. They are beyond dangerous.

A few of them will support Wind and Solar but when you ask them questions about how would wind or solar solve our transportation needs, they clam up. They just say we need to come up with better solutions. That's the ultimate cop out. These are VERY foolish people and very frivilous people. Many of these fools have government jobs if you check into it.

Greenspeace may be right. We should consider going back to safe, renewable whale oil for lights and heating.

greenpeace is always unsafe says logic. These eco-dolts are so illogical and mislead that I am surprised they haven’t hung them selves or ingested sulphuric acid as yet. They want everyone (except for them selves) to live in a 12th century mode of existence so we don’t tarnish Ghia, their earth god. I am so disgusted with their lunacy I just might go out tomorrow and purchase 5 gallons of motor oil and pour it on some baby harp seals or something. On second thought, I’ll just sit here and ponder their never-ending lunacy.

If you squeeze them gently enough—like`sea-kittens’—you can milk the oil from their bung-holes.
It helps to hum `Michael Row The Boat Ashore’ as you milk them. They really like that one.
