4. This is a very, very, very, very, old fraud. It was exposed many times

but the anti-nuke cult is a very, very, very, very, very, very persistent (and ignorant bunch.)

There was no Elena.

The definitive and detailed story of Chernobyl is told in irrefutable terms by a Ukrainian-American, Mary Mycio.

Unlike the infamous "Elena" Ms. Mycio is a real person. Ms. Mycio's contempt for the "Elena fraud" is pretty cutting.

I covered this topic on another website.

In fact, Chernobyl is not even close to being the worst energy disaster on the planet. The world's greatest energy disaster, about which the anti-nuke cult could care less, besides climate change - about which the anti-nuke cult couldn't care less - is the Banqiao dam disaster which took place.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banqiao_Dam

There is NOT ONE fundie anti-nuke who is calling for the banning of renewable energy, in this case, dams and there is NOT ONE fundie anti-nuke who gives a rat's ass that more than a quarter of a million people died in one night at Banqiao.

Zero fundie anti-nukes post memorials to Banqiao which took place just 4 years before Chernobyl.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banqiao_Dam

This is because the anti-nuke cult, like all fundamentalist cults, is paranoid, arbitrary, immoral, and requires deliberate ignorance from its adherents.

I have personally observed that there is NOT ONE fundie anti-nuke who gives a rat's ass how many people die in coal mines, how many people die from air pollution, how many people die in dangerous fossil fuel wars or how many people die from dangerous fossil fuel terrorism.

In fact, there is NOT ONE pathetic dumb ass anti-nuke who has ever bothered to memorialize the tens of thousands of Ukrainian coal miners who have died since Chernobyl.

They couldn't care less.

In fact, the anti-nuke cult pretends that only nuclear energy needs to be viewed in isolation from its alternatives.

There is NOT ONE anti-nuke on this website who has ever bothered to look into deaths from renewable energy, which easily outstrip deaths from nuclear energy. It did so last year, the year before that, and the year before that.

In fact, one of the primary energy related caused forms of death on this planet, this year, last year and the year before that was biomass burning. But there is NOT ONE fundie anti-nuke on this planet who could care less about the contents of say, Nature Medicine 13, 112 (2007).

Why?

Because a fundie believes what he or she believes and no amount of science can dissuade a fundie from anything.

I note, with contempt for cult thinking, that Ukraine and Belarus are both planning new nuclear capacity. Neither could care less for the opinions of contemptible American anti-nuke cult yuppies.

Nuclear power does not need to be perfect to better than everything else. It merely needs to be better than everything else, and it is.

Ignorance kills.

6. My, my. You get an A+ on the vicious diatribing today.

You threw ALL the nasty names at environmentalists.

2. This should be required studying by all as to what can happen

Is reclaiming the land even an option? I think not

[XemaSab]

5. Define "reclaiming."

:P

7. If you mean building crap box-homes then (hopefully) no.

If you mean "reclaiming by nature" then you're already out of date ... :-)
