(13,685 posts)Just a question. You don't have to answer.
Radiation problems have been played down ever since we bombed Hiroshima and the governments tried to cover up the lasting effects. You have to wonder if there is a correlation between the nuclear age and cancers. We know radiation kills. It causes gene damage. Especially in small rapidly reproducing creatures. Like birds and insects.
It does seem pro-nukers do tend to ignore the science and claim that radiation is somehow good for you, so pro-nukers are like people who are climate change deniers. Not too smart.
We shall see what Fukushima does to the Pacific ocean. We do know that the Atlantic got dosed via air deposition, but the Pacific has also a lot of water pollution. There have been reports of sea lion problems in the Pacific. Salmon runs last year in Alaska were at record lows.
Like I say, considering the lies from the industry which are well known, any blind support for nukes from a poster here, does put one in a bad light. Like to know what kind of person I am conversing with, that's why I asked if you were pro-nuke.
I know way too much to be a pro-nuker. I've seen through the lies.
