We got told how safe nuclear was before the accidents as well. The problem is that in the real world, people mess things up, and cut safety corners for profit’s sake. This happens over and over again and it happened at Fukushima and it is happening at San O.

It’s good that we can start discussing the real issues regarding nuclear technology, not these phony concerns. Unfortunately, many of the very folks who want to shut these reactor down, are the ones who would violently argue against any new forms of nuclear technology, no matter how safe. They continue to believe that alternative energy can provide the entire state’s or nation’s requirements, even though these forms of energy require currently nonexistent backup storage batteries or such or fossil fuel plants to provide the baseload they can’t provide.

Replace the San Onofre reactors with Liquid Floride Thorium Reactors.

As for the stats on so-called dangers, what about the thousands of people who will die in the next heat wave without air conditioning? Is that just “breaking a few eggs” to make your omelet?

By the way…been wondering….was is a SOCK PUPPET?

He was spazzed by socks…poor dog!
