Now that Al Gore has been awarded the Nobel Prize for global warming, the warming issue will be back on the front news burner this week. Even some leftists have been talking about a revival of nuclear power in the US.
But opposing nuclear power is a religious issue to many Boomers. The writers of this article are surviving Sixties musicians who made antinuclear ballads last time around. Watch for them to rise from their wheelchairs to shake their canes at The Man one more time.

Maybe Bonnie, Jackson, Graham, et al, will demand that their music NOT be played, in order to save precious electricity.

Fools. If they really want us to not be dependent on oil (and all the greenhouse gas emissions it causes that they fear so much) embracing nuclear power is the first step.

If we had more nuke plants the less oil and coal we will burn thus lowering carbon emissions.
Wow, what real geniuses these jet flying, limousine riding music stars are...

Celebrities.
Is there anything they don’t know?
I laugh when these marginally-educated dimwits complain about the escalating costs of building reactos.
They don’t mention that many of the costs are incurred because slow-thinking celebrities help fund environmental lawsuits against the manufacturers, forcing them to incorporate inexpensive and unnecessary features into the reactor and support structures.
And then there’s the DECADES of delays while these lawsuits are settled.

The Population Bomb movement has many faces. Anti-nuke is one of them and not the most powerful.

I wonder how many diesel generators they’ll need for their stage lights and sound systems.
On another note, I’m with them in opposing the subsidies for nukes- not because I don’t like nukes, but because I don’t like subsidies.

Bonnie Raitt answers your questions
The only question Bonnie Raitt can answer for me about nuclear power is why she thinks anyone should care about her science-illiterate opinions on the subject.
To: BlazingArizona
I had no idea Bonnie Raitt had degrees in engineering and envrionmental sciences, nor was I aware of her previous nuclear power experience.../sarc

I'd trust a Third-Class Petty Officer fresh off the Nuclear Power School "comp" 100 times before I listened to one of these clowns.
The areas in the east which rely on conventional power are getting killed by skyrocketing bills due to volatile oil/gas prices. Those (like here) who rely more on nuclear power have much lower and more stable electric bills.
Then again, they won't care about that until the lights go out for good. TVA is ramping back up--ditto South Texas Project, Duke, Florida Power and Light, and (IIRC) Exelon, to name several companies. Good luck trying to stop it, clowns.

This is the way the better public relation types are trying to avoid having their clients being mocked for being on social security but still trying to ‘rock’.
Is there anyone in the music industry that has been more discredited by history SINCE 1979 than Jackson Browne?
Nope.

If these a-holes would shut their month, global warming would cease.
They were wrong about nukes then and they are wrong now.
Next time you’re in a global warming debate with a lib, tell them you have an energy generating solution which produces no CO2—NUCLEAR ENERGY.

Music stars: We must still fight nukes
Aging hippies versus nuclear weapons and power? That's hardly a fair fight. I haven't seen what the Vegas line is but I'll take the nukes. I just hope there is a decent undercard- otherwise there is no way I'm going to buy the Pay-Per-View of it...
