I don't care if a nuclear plant melts down in my BACK YARD!
I want to be able to run my 87" flat screen for three cents a month, and save all the damn oil to mow my damn lawn! Bah! :o

1. mcLoser keeps saying new nuclear, lots of them even.
I just want him to tell us which cities and states he wants to put them in. Lots of them, surely he has some states in mind. States that he would like to hand to Obama.

2. If he wants to put new nukes in
Nevada, Colorado, Missouri, North Dakota, North Carolina, Virginia, New Mexico, West Virginia, Indiana, Ohio, Florida, and several other hotly contested states, I'm sure we'd all like to know about it. :)

3. He brags about nuclear energy on naval ships
And how many times has he had cancer...? Just another obvious fact that zooms right over his head.

6. first, don't accept the framing that having the nukes means cheap power
Edited on Wed Oct-15-08 10:49 PM by greenman3610
Nukes are hugely expensive, which is why they only get built anymore
when funded with huge government subsidies.

Which is why that, in the current economic climate,
they are going to become even more unattractive to investors.
