Oh bert, I am so sorry, I never meant that to sound as if I considered that you were a Ted Bundy. I should have realized that by your defense of the nuclear industry and by association, my acerbic comment could prove hurtful, very thoughtless, please forgive me.

I intended the analogy to mean that the nuclear industry, in general, does have a mighty uphill battle in its effort to reassure the public, considering the power to destroy and poison it has unleashed in the past and is capable of releasing for millenniums to come. It boggles my mind how the industry would feel given this, that the public could "rationally" think otherwise. The Titanic was built on such assurances, to what was considered the highest standards of of technology for the time

IMHO our present day technologies may be more advanced, but our ability to foresee all contingencies and damaging repercussions, as well as our propensity for human error, remains the same. And to me, this has been further demonstrated by other widely used power generating technologies.
