Dare I mention that I've dealt with this story in other threads (on nuclear power)? I think when the nuclear industry in the U.S. is derided in the most strident terms and conspiracies of coverups are alleged, and the most outlandish sources are used to "buttress" these remarks, it is only fair in the interests of scholarship and reasonable debate that people come back to the thread and acknowledge that, well, they were mistaken. I have done a lot of research on this "incident" and have in fact made phone calls, and search as I might, the mainstream media have left this "story" alone to a quite astounding degree. That's a euphemism for they haven't "covered" it because there's nothing to cover.
When bold statements are made, based on hyperbole and little to no fact, and even as the "story" grows with black helicopters, explosions, blackouts of information, etc. in the "alternative sources", and these statements quickly (quickly) become anachronistic, and passage of time daily increases the clarity to which they are anachronistic, it would seem that a little amelioration would be offered.
I think it's almost an issue of public safety sometimes. The very public safety some purport to advance with their stridency is undermined by talk of conspiracies where none exist.
What does northern hemisphere cheese have to do with a nothing "incident" in the U.S.? Why is the "nuclear industry's machinery of denial in action" regarding this very "incident" in Indiana/Michigan invoked with no evidence of it regarding this "incident" or elsewhere in the U.S.?
What is ironic is that no solutions are offered, that even the people who get into quite immature back and forth on global warming, will not even come in and post a simple, "Well, I disagree with nuclear power as a source of electricity and other power, but the U.S. gets over 20% of its power from nuclear plants, and nearly one fourth from natural gas plants, and that's a heck of a stride over coal powered plants which are a factor in global warming." France produces over 80% of its power from nuclear plants, Australia produces 80% of its from coal burning plants. But no, that would be, well, I think it's obvious why anything opposing these strident conspiracy theories is not expressed. Kim
