1. In a way, I'm glad that Biden's push for nuclear expansion hasn't gotten that much media attention ...

... because there's so much (truly) knee-jerk backlash to anything nuclear by a large, disproportionately vocal, segment of the public.

Quiet progress may be preferable, sadly, even though it's probably slower, unfortunately.

Where's the scare movie on global warming to counter "The China Syndrome" ? Oh, right, slow-moving disasters don't make for good box office. Or Nielsens. Better* to deny anything's wrong until it's obvious, then say "well, it's too late now!"

I wonder what the chances are of turning Michael Douglas or Jane Fonda - or maybe one of the films producers, directors, or screen writers - around on the nuclear issue, and publicly disavowing the scaremongering?









* better = more profitable (because USA! USA! USA!)
