[ RadSafe ] Wind Farms

[Flanigan, Floyd]

John,
I hope you are being facetious. I know what causes fishkills, having
been in commercial nuclear power for over 20 years. I was making a
sarcastic remark about how nuclear power production has been given a lot
of heat over the years because of fishkills by environmentalists and now
they are at each other's throats over birds being killed by wind power
production. Kind of ironic in my humble opinion.

Obviously, you have not been to that area.  It's the
water, rather than radiation, that is the big killer
of fish.

we cannot impose our will upon the other 94 percent of mankind; that we
cannot right every wrong or reverse each adversity; and therefore there
cannot be an American solution to every world problem."
