Spoken like someone who doesn't understand nuclear and has never been around it. I spent five years working with nuke plants... some time on site. I felt safer there than downtown Richmond VA at night. What you have, at least at these plants, was an attitude among the workers that nothing was going to happen on their watch. Many are ex-navy who take pride in their work. I know, this is not the standard at other businesses. The only thing some might find disconcerting are the guards wandering around carrying some pretty heavy hardware. We have a storage solution, it's in the middle of nowhere, but Dingy Harry Reid et al are refusing to let us use it. A pox upon their houses. Leland refers to accidents, what has there been since Three Mile Island, and how many refinery fires have there been in that time? We cannot live in a riskless world. If we try, the hidden risks of inadequate supplies will come back and bite us anyway. In my humble, but accurate, opinion, the left does not want us to be strong and independent. If we were, we wouldn't need them. -- Larry Miller --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/mixed text/plain (text body -- kept) message/rfc822 --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
