OK, I know that CNBC is owned by GE, who's building the reactors or at least some components of them. Of course they're going to try to promote nuclear energy in a subtle or subliminal manner.
But Patrick Moore, who founded GreenPeace, advocating nuclear energy? That's pretty strong. When asked if he would live next to a nuclear plant, he said he would live IN one with no problem. (Have we heard this before from somebody around here?)
As Mr. Moore pointed out, no fatalities have occurred in the U.S. because of nuclear energy. Even in the Three Mile Island incident, the worst nuclear accident in U.S. history, no lives were lost.
Dale Klein of NRC says an airplane will bounce off a reactor, being made of 4-foot thick concrete and 2-inch rebar. I cannot grasp this. I cannot see a 747 flying into a reactor at 200 mph and bouncing off. However, if the issue is terrorism then we also have the nucler plants already in existence to worry about and don't think the Feds aren't watching...
