13. Perhaps we should be developing alternative energy, which is GOING TO HAPPEN anyhow

rather than supporting a dangerous, already proven disastrous and NOT job creating venture for this planet simply to make more obscene amounts of money for the already obscenely wealthy corrupt, Oil Cartels that have caused so much harm already to this planet.

I dont' care what Trumka says, hopefully he will be enlightened as to what it is he is supporting, and if not, then nothing he has to say on the topic is worthy of anything other than 'he's wrong'.

We CANNOT ENSURE that it will be 'safe'.

Which is why there is so much opposition to it. It has NOT BEEN SAFE.

This is about one thing, period, money.

Trumka is wong so it's no good trying to use him to try to persuade people to even think about supporting this impending disaster.
