2. Very bad news if true

DUmmy somone is among that select group of DUmmies, like hippywife, who misspelled their own username when they registered at the DUmp.

6. God help us...
I hope it doesn't get into the jetstream... we're all ****ed.

Sorry, DUmmy JuniperLea, if it were that bad, we would all have died decades ago after hundreds of atmospheric nuclear explosions. Worst case here will be a microscopic fraction of the radiation released in the 40s, 50s, and 60s nuclear testing.

30. I have family in WA...
I was thinking the same thing.

Be safe... sounds hollow... damn... there really are no words for what I'm feeling right now. So much and so many at stake.

DUmmy JuniperLea knows all about nuclear reactors. She saw "China Syndrome", and had it explained by Jane Fonda.

8. Soooo - nuclear energy destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki--
 -- and is now poised to have a calamitous effect on them AND the world??
DUmmies get all their information on nuclear power from "China Syndrome" and Saturday Night Live. I'm surprised no one has suggested sending Jimmy Carter to solve the problem. He got it done on SNL.

16. Gulf Oil leak last year, potential nuclear fallout this year. Let's go clean!

Aside from democrat propaganda, no problem from either incident so far.

38. We protested the shit out of nuclear in the 70's
Now you know why. Three Mile Island was no joke,

The TMI "disaster" resulted in zero injuries or deaths. It was a disaster only in that it gave democrats propaganda ammunition to prevent more development of inexhaustible nuclear power. 

For anyone who was wondering whatever happened to the Las Vegas Lardass, here he is! That heroic heart, laboring mightily to provide sustenance to over a quarter-ton of blubber, has apparently not exploded quite yet:

22. Yanno...SERIOUSLY!
Modern nuclear power plants are built to withstand a lot.

It's a given that even they won't be able to whistle on through an almost 9.0 ****ing earthquake without bad things happening.

But I must ask: Where is all the ****ing outrage as fossil fuel refinery after fossil fuel refinery literally explodes, and releases millions of tons of radioactive soot into the air?

Good luck convincing me that the death toll from the refinery explosions won't be many times higher than whatever radioactivity gets released from the nuclear plants.

Misguided hysteria much, people?

What's he talking about? I have no idea whatever, and I'm sure he doesn't either. What we do know is that he's back to making moonbat posts, and has deserted the fat forum at his scam doctor's site since January. That's pretty sound evidence that the Las Vegas Leviathan is back north of five large, and gaining. Coach thought he was on the verge of gainful employment, but that's now officially a pipe dream.

33. Pollution Causes 40 Percent Of Deaths Worldwide, Study Finds
 
Chernobyl is a walk in the park compared to how many millions die from mostly fossil fuel-based air pollution every year.

And while we're at it, care to tell me how many reactors using the Chernobyl design are operating today?

The Chernobyl disaster was all but a guarantee. Today's reactor designs are orders of magnitude safer. Capiche?

I think that if I were on the husky side of 500 freaking pounds, I would not see pollution as the main hazard to my health.

32. With all due respect, it certainly is the time and place.
The death rates from fossil fuel pollution have been posted in Environment/Energy more times than I can count.

Until people are every bit as outraged by all those exploding refineries as they are about all this "what if" and "maybe" total ****ing bullshit about the reactors, then I simply will not sit idly by and not challenge it.

Think what you want of me. I'm honestly not trying to be an asshole here. I just think that this discussion needs representation by more than one side.

I seriously want to barf.  Seriously.  The apathetic cowardly crap has just gotten to me I suppose.  Sh!t or get off the pot for the love of God!  These people who are suffering, who have lost their homes, their families, their town do not need you to just sit and type on the frickin pc about your damn vibes and your "supreme knowledge about all things nuclear."  God Bless!  I loathe these armchair quarterbacks.  I. really. friggin. do.

LVL does have a somewhat valid point here.  The likelihood of a full meltdown at that plant is still very low regardless of the nitrogen explosion.  An overheating event will cause a shutdown with only some venting of radioactive material.  The radioactive material released would be similar in amount to the amount released by a coal fired plant over a two week period.  It's a concern, but not a long term life threatening event.

If LVL wants a DOTY, he's going to have to start trying much harder.

I see all these treehuggin' hippies talking about "going green" ....

My question is why don't they.

If they were so keen on green energy then surely they'd have installed a solar array and a wind turbine ,then gone off the grid,  right ?

Oh wait - "green" energy is totally uneconomical and unreliable in addition to being unaffordable.

They advocate the same systems be used on a nationwide scale that they wisely avoid on a individual scale knowing that it's a pipedream.

Thanks for the update, sir; I haven't seen him myself, and as we all know, since we're decent and civilized people, we like to know how the gigantic primitive's doing in his quest to lose weight.

Especially since we're paying for him riding the disability gravy train, first-class tickets, and a suite.

Since the gigantic primitive hasn't posted lately, it's reasonable to assume he hasn't been losing any weight, and perhaps has added some on.

Yes.  There are radioactive isotopes in fossil fuel.  Coal is the worst, and there is currently no filtration of these isotopes so as LVL states, there is some radioactive output from a coal fired plant.

It's the same as lead and other heavy metals having some traces of radioactivity in them.

Yes, but the Las Vegas Lardass makes it sound as if all fossil fuels are heavily irradiated before being consumed, so as to spread radiation all over the Earth.

Heavy metals tend to concentrate in fat tissue, so I guess that's why the LVL is so passionate. Most of the LVL IS fat tissue.
