(Reuters) - Conditions at a stricken nuclear power plant in Japan have deteriorated so much that there is a growing consensus the crisis is greater than the Three Mile Island accident in 1979, and there are fears that it could get significantly worse.
I know what happened at TMI. I was asking if you did. Your history indicates that you might make stuff up haphazardly. [Reply]
Again we are in total agreement. Fuck the drill here, drill now crowd. Nuclear here Nuclear now and say goodbye to Opec.

Rep, and what not.
It saddens me to no end that we're currently hearing the death rattle for nuclear power in this country. A clean, virtually limitless energy resource based on technology that is light years beyond the gloom and doom scenarios preached by its detractors...and we're going to throw it away.
Environmentalists will continue to ignore things like the 50 year old underground coal vein fire in Centralia, PA that has been spewing toxins into the air for the last 5 decades and is expected to continue to do so for centuries. Afterall, it's those damn tsunamis that you really have to watch out for...

Building 100s of more nuclear plants wouldn't completely remove our need for oil. Not even close. [Reply]
