Just as with the Gulf oil spill, the damage done by Big Press and the “Sky is Falling’ crowd, of which you are one, will drawf, DRAWF, actual damages from the nuke plants in Japan.

That is true so far as the radiological damage is concerned, but the financial impact is going to be high. Three Mile Island cost over 2.5 Billion when adjusted for inflation, and at a minimum they have four Three Mile Islands on their hands. So that is probably close to 10 Billion that they are going to have to come up with just to pay for the disposal of the damaged cores from reactors 1-4. Probably quite a bit more than those windmill accidents cost to clean up, even though the windmills actually killed more people.

Of course the hype will still probably cost more money than the cleanup, and it certainly will make the cleanup more difficult. But the cleanup will not be a trivial matter either But saying it is going to be expensive is a whole lot different than saying it is the end of the world. This is an engineering problem now, and as such kind of interesting.

At least one and maybe two of the plants were slated to be decommissioned later this year. But, as you say, it is still a *very* expensive event. And clean up of this mess, no matter what happens, will be much more expensive than decommissioning an operating plant would have been.

For more than 10 years now I've been paying an extra $50 a month for electricity. So have you. So has everyone else. So have all the factories in the country been paying obscene amounts more.

All over the unnecessary panic generated by the enviro-nazis and their willing accomplices in Big Press over 3 Mile.

This has the potential to dwarf that by an enormous factor. A thousand? 500? who knows, but it could be huge.

The extra trillions of dollars Big Press stampeded everyone into over 3 Mile has themdrooling over what they can rip us off for this time.

Freepers shouldn't be siding with those who are trying to us this to destroy capitalism.
