She’ll get hers.
If not in this life, then the next.
Wait a minute, John Kerry was in Vietnam?
I agree with you wholeheartedly about Jane Fonda. Unfortunately building nuclear power plants back then would have done nothing toward alleviating our current dependence on foreign oil. Nuclear power plants generates electricity. Crude oil is refined into gasoline. Currently most of our electricity is generated by burning natural gas, which we have plenty of here in the USA, and more being discovered everyday (probably due to abundant quantities being located on non-federal lands). The only way to alleviate dependence on foreign oil is to drill for it here.
What I don’t understand is how Fonda and Lemmon knew there would be a meltdown at Three Mile Island the same year The China Syndrome was released. Of course, the movie was probably made before the meltdown occurred in 1979.
Did they in any way cause the problem at Three Mile Island to get more publicity for their film? Hard to believe someone could be that evil, but they’re liberals.
“China Syndrome” was an exciting movie. A lot of people back then had concerns about where and how nuclear waste would be stored and the safety of the facilities. - The nuclear industry sent out public relations teeny bopper cuties with absolutely no scientific credentials to charm the public into accepting nuclear power. A very pretty and very young woman in our family was one of them. - When I asked how nuclear waste was going to be stored and where, she blew me off with a condescending chide that went something on the order of the following: “Oh, they don’t know yet exactly what they’re going to do with the nuclear waste, but they’re sure they’ll figure it out when the time comes. You DO want your children to have the conveniences that YOU have, don’t you?” I reiterated my initial question, but she just blew me off like I was some sort of an ignoramus.
If the nuclear industry is serious, next time, they’ll send out competent scientists with legitimate credentials to do their PR work. Of course, it’ll be an easier sell now.
I did not march in protest of nuclear power plants, nor did I lie down in front of bulldozers at proposed sites or campaign in any way against them, and I was under the impression that they had proceeded with the planned nuclear power plants back at that time - although I feel sure this woman will blame my sort for them not building them.
I have been saying for years that John F. Kerry (D-Hanoi) and Fonda should STILL be in jail.
They will never have to answer for their cr## (because they are leftists) unless something happens to make them answer.
Sadly, I don’t see that happening.
