Tony Klein, D-East Montpelier and chairman of the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee, said Tuesday the state's intent was for Vermont Yankee to shut down."<br /><br />I know this sounds extremely naive, but does the state have a provable sound _reason_ to have the hots for shutting down Yankee beyond "we just don't like nuclear power"? It would seem that facts and history are against the hysteria of the antis. A cut from my rant in the "If Nuclear Energy Is Immoral" response in NEI Notes:<br /> <br />"Australia's (anti-nuclear) health/environmental hypocrisy is just awesomely stunning. Ever since firing up their first coal and oil plants long ago, they've suffered (happily tolerated) their pernicious and overt health and pollution effects in millions of non-speculated real-life cases, yet refuse to stroke a power source that has hardly killed a wilt globally, never mind Australia, and which Fukushima has shown creates no Doomsday even under the rare worst circumstances. I hope maintaining Australia's specious high-horse philosophical bigotry towards nuclear energy is worth the grief and distress of all those suffering fossil fuel aliments since generations past."<br /><br />Really, Vermont anti-nukers, how can one protest FOR more unavoidable pollution and respiratory and skin diseases and razing of the environment??<br /><br />Bewildered,<br /><br />James Greenidge<br />Queens NY<br /><br /><br /><br />jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624023124404414596noreply@blogger.com
