[Peace-discuss] FYI Nuclear power

[Karen Aram]

Just looking at what the Environmental Protection Agency has become, a supporter of corporate interests, you're right its all very political, with concerns for profit, not safety. It's not about the science.

The waste-storage  issue has become a political problem, not a science based issue. Gunter's statement that the department of energy does the bidding of the nuclear industry is without foundation, simply his bias. Some so-called environmentalists have become Luddites.

The Department of Energy is conducting an eight-city national tour aimed at gathering public feedback on the issue of where to store nuclear waste. The agency has launched a so-called consent-based siting model to determine where to store spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. At a hearing in Boston Thursday, Paul Gunter of Beyond Nuclear raised objections to the process.
Paul Gunter: "How does the public in the affected community build trust when the Department of Energy itself is a promotional agency doing the bidding of the nuclear industry by direct promotion, and that the whole process going forward to date has lacked consent? There's never been consent with regard to generation of nuclear waste."
