Nuclear disdain

From Joe Hargrove, Commerce:

America’s disdain of nuclear reactor proliferation is further evidenced by the Saturday, Oct. 1 protest rally at the Fermi 2 plant in Monroe. People from Michigan, Ohio and Canada are targeting DTE’s plans for yet another Michigan reactor, Fermi 3.

“Fermi 3 would represent yet another assault the Great Lakes,” said Michael Keegan of Don’t Waste Michigan. “Fermi 2 has nowhere to get rid of its forever deadly radioactive wastes, and now Detroit Edison wants to make more for the next 60 years at yet another reactor. This is environmentally, economically and morally bankrupt.”

Hindsight is 20/20. I’m sure if the people of Japan had been so blessed, they would not be where they are today.

We have seen the future, and it is not pretty. Let’s spend our money and talent on alternative sources of energy.

    I read that DTE dumped millions of gallons of nuclear waste into Lake Erie. I thought someone, somewhere was supposed to be protecting us from this kind of thing. Is this legal?

    “The track record of the Detroit Edison Company is abysmal. The partial core-melt accident at Fermi 1 in October, 1966 and the 1993-94 Holiday dumping of millions of gallons of radioactively contaminated water into Lake Erie by Fermi 2 speaks to this record.”
