All you have to do is build your reactors in the Free Trade Zone with Mexico- no licensing fee, no taxes and no EPA regulations.

Funked seriously, tho, if you're looking for some plutonium I can hook you up. I scored some from a Russian dude and I need to move it cause it's making my hair fall out and my skin glow in the dark.

Accept more risk from nuclear power? Define 'more'. I'm sure the residents of villages around Chernobyl would help you out, but they are too busy being dead. Or giving birth to offspring with genetic defects. Which democratic administration would take that little legacy on?

Handling nuclear material is an expensive business if you don't want a ruined environment or damaged/dead workers. Who wants to work in a dangerous environment? Several would if the money was right - therefore increased labour costs. I just don't think there's any way of getting around the expense of nuclear power.

The nuclear industry’s safety record and efficiency gains have been widely acknowledged, and nuclear power plants have become more economically competitive as other sources of energy have increased in price. While just a few years ago many plants were looking to phase out when their initial licenses expired, now about 40 percent of U.S. nuclear plants have announced plans to seek renewed licenses, according to the NRC, and twice that number may apply. “There’s even talk that some company might order up a new nuclear generating plant, something that hasn’t happened in more than 20 years,” according to a May 12 Washington Post editorial entitled “Nuclear Comeback

Dowding we don't have these problems in the USA, because after 3 Mile Island there was a vast increase in regulations which was inspired by fear.  We could reduce regulations and cost and still maintain safety.  

We're talking about the last couple nines in reliability figures here.  Are those last few nines worth maintaining a global military influence or polluting the atmosphere to a degree which alters climate?  A very high (and nearly certain) price to prevent a few deaths from materials handling or plant malfunctions.  What if the need of the USA to maintain petroleum supply results in global thermonuclear war?  That would be "a tad" worse than even another Chernobyl.

Your hypocrasy is showing.

IIRC your main beef with "Komrade Klinton" was his lying about a blow job, yet you take no exception to chimpy lying about 9/11.

You seem to have a double standard when it comes to liars.

I see no difference between the two, both are lying swine.

Look guys, I can get left-wing academia behind this, if you can get the rightists behind it.  It's not about politics; it about saving the world we love.  Dammit, we can recognize our own.  And fictitious corporations were invented not to be our own.

It's time to vote from the rooftops.

"bush gets tangled in his 9/11 lies, part 1
by Jared Israel and Francisco Gil-White, Emperor's New Clothes - September 30, 2002
 
As you will recall, Bush said he learned of the first World Trade Center crash sitting outside a classroom at the Booker School. He said he saw TV video footage of the plane hitting the building. Of course, this is impossible because, at the time, the TV stations didn't have such footage. Indeed, the TV news people weren't even sure it was a plane crash until the second plane hit the WTC. For example, here is Charles Gibson on ABC news speaking shortly after 9 AM:
"GIBSON: Well, obviously, we don't know if this was--if it was a plane, and I underline, if it was, we don't know if it would have been deliberate or accidental. We know so little now..."

So, Bush definitely did not see TV footage of the crash. However, as you argue, he could have misremembered.

The question is, *did* he? Did he misremember? Or was he lying?

Fortunately we have evidence that can help answer this question.

For the sake of argument, let's suppose Bush did *not* lie. Let's suppose he made false statements at the Florida Town Hall meeting due to faulty memory. Wouldn’t members of his staff have corrected him?

They certainly would. Because his "mistakes" contradicted the previous White House story about what Mr. Bush knew and when on 9-11. That story was outlined at a Press Conference the evening of September 11th by Mr. Bush's press secretary, Ari Fleischer."


This is hot stuff and absolute proof of Bush's evil in weazel's world. Get help weazel....

One of the big problems with nuclear power is the waste. I'm surprised that no-one implements the obvious solution: dump it down where it will be buried by lava. You want free-flowing lava, such as in Hawaii or Iceland, rather than that from the explosive type of volcano, like Etna.

That "little" lies are OK?

So much for being on the side of righteousness ehh?

right·eous   Pronunciation Key  (rchs)
adj.
Morally upright; without guilt or sin: a righteous parishioner.
In accordance with virtue or morality: a righteous judgment.
Morally justifiable: righteous anger.


Eagler, Udie... if you do, shame on you.

A lie is a lie.
