Nuclear somersault: New Energy Secretary changes his tune and says he won't block reactor plans

8. WRONG AS ALWAYS!!

As always Kris, you have absolutely no idea of the actual circumstances.

Actually, Strauss was just waxing philosophic at a gathering for science fiction writers:

He also said that mankind would travel beneath the seas and travel through the air with minimal risk and at great speeds. Since Strauss also promised high speed flight with minimal risk, I wonder why people don't jump on his statement any time there is an airliner crash.

No - Kris, Strauss wasn't introducing nuclear power to the nation. He made those remarks in 1954 BEFORE we had nuclear power plants. There was NO NEED to introduce the public to nuclear power when it wasn't yet in existence.

Kris, as always has zero idea about the history, and he fabricates to suite his political agenda.
Strauss was waxing philosophic with science fiction writers about the wonders of things to come, and wasn't introducing nuclear power plants, because there weren't any at the time.

When we got nuclear power plants years later, the anti-nukes took Strauss' comments out of context, and have been pretending for decades that he was talking about nuclear power plants.
