I'm pro-nuclear power, and have worked in the industry in the past. So let me get that out right away.
I think what is happening, at least on my part, is to deflect the panic stricken anti-nuke people who seek to exploit this in this time of low information and high anxiety.
Wait for the facts before jumping to conclusions is my advice at this time. The anti-nuclear people are trying to stir up strong anti-nuclear sentiment because this is their time to do so. There is plenty of time later on to side with them if the fact come out in that direction.
I’m with you- I’m definitely pro-nuke and I just hate the talking points this situation is presenting to the left. Nevertheless- it sounds serious- but I’m a civilian. A little while ago on FOX I heard the evacuation number has been risen to 140,000. That’s a lot of people. Will they all have to be tested on the way out?
It’s such a horrible situation and the media is weird- hype followed by down-playing followed by Charlie Sheen.
