And now for some good nuke news...

“TOKYO After 34 years, the United States is expected to resume construction of nuclear reactors by the end of the year, and Toshiba will export turbine equipment for the reactors to the U.S. early next month, it was learned Saturday...
Following the meltdowns at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear-power plant, the NRC placed priority on safety assessments for existing nuclear-power plants, delaying the screening of new projects.
No construction on reactors has been carried out in the United States since January 1978.”
34 years of paralyzing superstition! Ain’t modern society grand?
So, you’re looking at a map showing Japan coated with radioactive cesium and you think people who hope to avoid having their country coated in radioactive cesium are ‘superstitious’?
I wonder if the extent to which radioactive cesium from Japan fell in the US will be exposed before the end of the year or not?
Did you...even for one tiny moment...have a little flicker of compassion for what the Japanese face when you read this article...before you went to get that pro nuclear lobby link? Is it possible that you hope to capitalize on the tragedy of the Japanese somehow? Because I really am taken aback by your decision to gleefully post that the nuclear power industry is pushing ahead in this country without acknowledging what it has done to the country of Japan.
Notice the nuke power industry simply denies Chernobyl a) had victims and b) still has victims and c) will have victims for countless generations? With your ‘yippee we get more money!...I mean...another power plant!’ post ill-placed here, you along with Larry Lucido are blazing another trail - you plan to behave as if the nuclear power industry a) did not harm the future of an entire nation and b) continues to feel a great sense of entitlement to the right to harm other nations.
Wish you cared about the Japanese half as much as you care about nuclear power. Prayers for the people of Japan.
That is awesome news, if true.
