They are wanting to build a nuclear power plant about 40 miles south of me in south Texas and the ranchers, etc, are fighting it.
Many local studies going on now as to water usage [Guadalupe River], and water well and ground soil contamination.
I have never desired to live near one and there was just mention of some sort of ‘leakage’ at one a few days ago.
Are your referring to HL&P South Texas Project (If they have not sold it)?
Jane Fonda, Michael Douglas, Wilford Brimley and Jack Lemmon proved nuclear reactors are a dangerous threat to be blocked at all cost in China Syndrome (1979).
Obviously France is suppressing news of its reactor deaths.
DDT would save a million kids a year but enviros don't care about saving lives.
I live in Fuquay-Varina, NC and can see the steam plume from Shearon Harris nuclear power plant from my back yard if the sky is clear. I have no worries. Also built by Westinghouse.
The "etc", of course, are the usual suspects: malodorous hippies, al Qaeda trial lawyers, Sixties folksingers, and the usual gaggle of college-town lezzies. I question whether any actual ranchers are part of this movement.
I wish they would consider using treated sewage water for all of our nuke plants. That is how it is done at Palo Verde in Arizona.
