[ RadSafe ] "Do Not Read This If You Are Anti-Nuclear Energy"

[Bailly, Helen A]

Fair question, no I don't have proof that there is an effort underway to
eliminate nuclear energy; however, I see news of protests and
demonstrations calling for the elimination of nuclear anything on WAY
more places than this list (I don't belong to any other lists like this
- one is enough) CNN, Fox News Network, Bumper Stickers and Tee Shirts
(my favorite being Jackson Hole Wyoming's plea for plutonium free
powder), The Idaho Statesmen, to name just a few.  

 

While I wouldn't call this evidence of an effort to eliminate nuclear
energy, but it is certainly evidence of anti-nuclear ANYTHING
sentiment/attitude/bias

Life is short - Break the rules!  Forgive quickly!  Kiss slowly!  Love
truly! Laugh uncontrollably!... And never regret anything that made you
smile.

No, and there are certainly efforts to restore shark

populations.

 

Do you have proof that there is an effort to eliminate

nuclear energy?  I see a constant nit-picking effort

that is perceived to have influence beyond its real

influence. (Most of the crying about anti-nuclear

influence is on list like this.) I also see power

companies recognizing the economic advantages of

supplying energy using nuclear power.
