Re: West Wing, et. al.

Sorry, but this is not a good example.



"Nuclear power" compares to the "soft drink industry" as "Coca-Cola" 

compares to a single plant (such as Indian Point 3).



For example, when health official say cigarette smoking is bad for 

you they do not pick out a particular brand. When health experts talk 

about the harm from fast food diets they do not pick out McDonalds.



That is, the West Wing did not pick on "spent fuel" being transported 

from the "X" power plant by the "Y" trucking company in a "Z" 

container.



Can you give an example of an entertainment (NOT news) show where a 

specific plant was named and brought up for some ridicule or 

complaint. Note that news shows are very different and fall under 

different rules of law.
