Antinuclear

What a Damn Yankee Nuclear Nuisance!

(USA) Just as the nuclear idustry pushes for massive public money, for  extending the life of its aging reactors and setting up new ones, along comes a pesky little bit of democracy!

Alone in the nuclear power world, the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant actually has to rely on the State Legislature to say yea or nay to extended its miserable radioactively leaking life. (Other U.S. States don’t have this “luxury” of controlling their ancient or new nuclear reactors.)

Oh dear, this leaky old ship could bring about the sinking of the whole nuclear power fleet in America. (Meanwhile government-run nuclear industries – France, China – etc – they don’t have this pesky problem of being financially or in any other way, accountable to the people.)
