15. Cherry-picking as ALWAYS!!!

kristopher,

You always do this; you cherry-pick ONE of the faults, and then claim that is the ONLY one.

Why don't you read the REST of the VY decisions; particularly the appeal. as well as the US Supreme Court case National Meat Association v. Harris penned by Justice Elana Kagan.

The NRC is NOT charged with just safety. The NRC sets and enforces ALL regulations with regard to nuclear power plants; safety, environmental, financial stability of the operator; EVERYTHING about a nuclear power plant.

The "bullpucky" comes from actually doing some scholarly research. All of the Laws of Physics that I talk about, you also call "bullpuckey"; even when I give you references to the Physics Departments at Universities. Unlike you, I've ACTUALLY READ the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, the Vermont Yankee v. NRDC, Baltimore Gas & Electric v NRDC, PG&E v State Energy Commission Supreme Court decisions, as well as Murtha's VY ruling, and the VY Appeals ruling.

Evidently your definition of "bullpuckey" has nothing to do with whether something is true or not; but merely whether YOU agree with it.

The good thing about science is that it is true, whether or not you believe in it.
