There is considerable attention focused upon the protesters to nuclear energy by the news media, Personally, I believe most of their fears are unfounded. I have a few questions every American would do well to consider:
- What if 40 – 50 people were killed every day by a malfunctioning nuclear plant?
- What if that malfunctioning plant seriously injured 1,500 others every day?
- What if nuclear energy caused 200 broken homes every day?
- What if it caused 250 people to suffer permanent brain damage every day, besides the other injuries already described?
- What if it caused 125 parents to abuse their children or to assault another loved ones every day?
- What if it caused 5 – 6 billion dollars direct damage and inestimable indirect damage every year?
Now, if you will just double every figure I have quoted, you will have a partial picture of the effects of beverage alcohol! Where are the protesters?
