Thread Name: BS: Chernobyl Anniversary NO NUKES!
Subject: RE: BS: Chernobyl Anniversary NO NUKES!
Fantasma-
I'm with you in depth on this one. Thousands have already died in the aftermath of Chernobyl. I was coordinating a referendum for shutting down the Maine Yankee nuclear power plant in 1986 when Chernobyl blew its lid. We raised $600,000 in that campaign but we still didn't win, 48% doesn't constitute a win.
One problem with nuclear power is that the operators get bored watching the screens and when something happens they are not paying attention. The consequences can be catastrophic. And there is no long term solution with what to do with the nuclear waste.
