From eco-warrior to nuclear champion: From eco-warrior to nuclear championNuclear waste hysteriaIs probably the biggest challenge facing nuclear power. And it all stems from the fact that people have been misled into thinking radiation is more dangerous than it is.The really long-term radioactive stuff is so low-level, it's more dangerous to live in North Dakota.Waste...; Tags: Waste Disposal, nuclear energy, Greenpeace, nuclear champion; Discussion threads 2008-01-31
No nuces is good nucs? Blogosphere begs to differ with this blogger, as usual: My recent blog on the drought possibly shutting down some American nuclear power plants raised some comment. All of it negative about this idiot blogger. I've now been labelled an "ecosocialist." Was that because I mentioned Chernobyl? NO, that mess happened under a faux-socialist regime so maybe...; Tags: Nuclear Energy, Blogosphere, Plant, Blogger, Harry Fuller; Blog posts 2008-01-25
