We had a Gulf spill. Hmmmm, that seems to have cleaned up pretty nicely so far, eh? There was Exxon Valdez, as well as other oil spills in the world far worse than both. There was Chernobyl, 3-mile Island (minor), and this. This was a bad deal in Japan, thanks to one of the worst earthquakes in human history. Are you really going to base your decisions off catastrophes such as this, which may not happen again for 500 more years?
Consider this: A LOT more people died 200 years ago simply because they were cold, or from heat exhaustion, because they didn't have nuclear or coal-based energy.
And guess what? Riding in an airplane was pretty dangerous 50 years ago, as was a train a few years before that. Ever hear of the Titanic? The Hindenburg? You live and learn, analyze and improve, and push forward with COURAGE.
Liberals are such ******s, pardon the French. Chicken Little about every little thing that might go wrong. Scared of the boogey man under their bed. Global warming (lol), AIDS, Bird Flu, Y2K, Swine Flu.....then add the internet to the equation and we're 20 minutes from the apocolypse.
Last I checked, there aren't any of us getting out of here alive. We're all headed for a grave sooner or later. Thank you, but I choose not to spend my time shaking like a schoolgirl over unlikely things that "might" happen.
I'm about the biggest proponent of nuclear energy you've ever talked to but thanks for the ****in generalization there buddy.
