Vermont wants to shut down nuclear plant, NRC trying to prevent that from happening

People like you are the dumbest fucks on the planet. Cheap electricity will mean nothing if a natural disaster, or otherwise, occurs and creates conditions like that in Japan. It is unbelievable that people like you can even function in society without help. What part of "mass destruction" don't you understand?

Cuomo lives in the town of New Castle (i.e. Chappaqua) which is not far from Indian Point. So he's probably genuinely against it.

Money, money, money, money, money....

Everybody's got a price, and everybody's gonna pay!

Here, I'll make you feel even better: The Huffington Post reported this...

"The risk of a catastrophic release of radiation from an accident at a spent nuclear fuel pool is much higher in the United States than at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi plant, according to a new report from the Institute for Policy Studies. Spent fuel at many U.S. plants in facilities that were never designed for long-term storage exceeds that stored at the four damaged units of the Japanese plant. For example, the spent fuel in a pool at Vermont Yankee plant exceeds the combined total in the pools at the four troubled reactors at the Fukushima site. There are more than 30 million spent fuel rods in these storage pools in the U.S., the "largest concentration of radioactivity on the planet," according to author Robert Alvarez."


I live in Vermont, too, by the way.

the war machine is the real power player in nuclear energy. They need them up and running to supply the radioactive weapons of mass destruction.

They need to ban all nuke plants on penalty of death world wide. Then the people need to quit the banks and work on barter and the whole house of slop would disintegrate in a year.

Please read ^^This^^ again. If you want the truth.

My latest video. On the topic of this thread the Vermont people want the plant shutdown and that is what should matter. Who does the NRC think they are?.

I was gonna respond to him as well, but I think you said it all...and with conviction! Good on ya!

Oh yeah, feel TONS better now! haha.

Nice to meet another Vermonter btw! Where about? I'm way up north....Richford, and if you're not sure where that town is (pretty small), it is about 40 minutes north of St. Albans, or an hour away from Burlington (depending on traffic on I-89).

It just makes me sick to my stomach to think, "What if something happened to this plant?" Already has had some problems.

I second that!

Drive to where, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, where were you thinking? We are a closed system.

This is awful, especially since the dairy industry is HUGE here.

Canerdeur got plenty of power

plan ? does 'not eating radiation' count as a plan ?

rather than paying a cheap electricity bill with your 3rd hand, its better to pay a quadruple electricity bill with one of your existing 2 hands.

Some people, including I think Arnie Gunderson, said that the lighter isotopes I-131 and also I believe Cs-137 are not being emitted as much as at the beginning of the Fukushima disaster. But even Gunderson didn't seem to give any data to support this view?

I'm just wondering when it might be safe to start buying milk again, from the eastern US. Any more recent readings? This Forbes article is from over 2 months ago in early April.

Electric bills dont go through the roof, that is a farse. Colorado shut down its nuke power in the early 1990's and we have not seen the prices skyrocket, like 3 or 4 fold. That is a lie. In fact wind farms took the place of the nuke power, we have hydroelectric power, and clean coal and natural gas power too. Not to mention all the photo voltaic stuff going in locally that people can buy into with there local energy coops. So its a myth that a state cant survive without its nuke power. Heres a list of all the power plants that are Nuke, note what it says about Colorado in the list!

State's Rights you Fed fuckers!

Well for starters ...instead of another bailout (qe3) how about equipping all the "on the books" residential taxpayers with solar panels for starter......if that isn't good enough then how about some legislation that would offset electronics and internet designs of these power plants....hmmmm get them solitarily on their own grid network via siprnet.......man, with 700 billion for that first bailout, every home in the u.s. ccould have a starter solar set powering off each other...electricity travels and bounces back...ground the grid and let everyones house power anothers.....no more electric bill...and it would create jobs...and it would keep those jobs via maintenance in which would pay for itself if it was state regulated...and the fuckin battery power that we already have and exists would store excess to keep the grid running.......wtf ladies and gentleman, wtf.....photovalactic lenses are virtually emp proof also....chew on that glp....

you dopey numbskull. nuclear power is not only suicidally

hazardous, per watt, its three times the price of solar.

They should put it all in one big pile and see if it explodes.

My thoughts exactly!!!

Go the thorium route for safe nuclear power.

And it costs billions to decommission one plant once it reaches the point of being too old to rehab. On top of that, these could bring about life extinction on Earth should many begin melting down (possible in a total economic collapse or nuclear war). Keep in mind nuke plants in meltdown mode release much more radiation than do open air nuclear blasts.

Yes!! Nullification NOW!

Good point.

Say we get hit by an asteroid that kills off half the planet. Well then all the nukes & spent fuel goes up and kills off the other half.

Twohundred-fiftythousand years later the aliens stop by and to collect their free planet, scarcely noticing the scant remains of one more Darwinian debacle.

GE doesn't own the Yankee Plant.
Entergy owns Yankee.

GE makes NEW nuclear power plants.
New safer plants.
When old plants are retired, new ones will have to be built.
GE will build them.
So GE should be in favor of old plants shutting down.

i live like 20 minutes away from teh plymouth mass plant, which is essentially identical to the fukushima plants and RIGHT on the water. it is also having some troubles as we speak, but good luck trying to find anything about them.

and is about 2% of our energy production. totally worth it to kill everyone. oh wait...
