Former Nuclear Chairman (NRC) Calls for phaseout of Nuke Power Plants in US

He must be crazy, right?

Jazcko was fired about a year ago when he tried to stop new permits until lessons from Fukushimna were better understood. Now that he's free to say whatever he wants, he says 'STFU' to Nukes!

Just 30 years late, but better late than never.
