87. Nuke industry is known for lies

Sat May 10, 2014, 04:56 AM

May 2014

The industry is big money. A plant cost billions to build and generates many more billions in revenue. Too, they create plutonium which is used in weapons, so there is that evil deeply entrenched in the industry.

There is a reason above ground nuclear weapon testing was halted. Because the science said that radiation was killing life on the planet.

As you have read here, the Pacific was clearly radiated many years ago. Testing was halted in the 70's and that radiation has just about been dispersed around the world. Now, with Chernobyl and Fukushima, much more radiation has been introduced to our atmosphere. And, like the WHOI has claimed, Fukushima is unprecedented and is great cause for concern when it comes to life in the Pacific.

The OP is false RobertEarl May 2014 #5

Do you have a link? maddezmom May 2014 #7

Several links RobertEarl May 2014 #15

your article said "minute traces" dionysus May 2014 #24

In other words, a global catastrophe. NuclearDem May 2014 #27

Yep. Minute RobertEarl May 2014 #28

Please provide the peer reviewed studies, not the nuttiness of the site you provided. eom MohRokTah May 2014 #31

Don't bother. Citing ENENews is the equivalent of "I've got nothing." NuclearDem May 2014 #33

It sort of explains alot doesn't it? VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #52

Enenews is a great source RobertEarl May 2014 #34

Bwhahahahahahahaha zappaman May 2014 #85

... SidDithers May 2014 #98

You are aware in this case "minute" means "substantially less than background radiation", right? Chan790 May 2014 #126

Eat your banana and smile, right? RobertEarl May 2014 #127

Have you started the speaking gigs yet? You can get paid for "spreading" this information! snooper2 May 2014 #141

. MohRokTah May 2014 #8

Nope, try again. Radiation still isn't killing the starfish. NuclearDem May 2014 #10

But... greytdemocrat May 2014 #14

LOL, real funny itsrobert May 2014 #131

uh huh zappaman May 2014 #13

And the NOAA map. NuclearDem May 2014 #16

300 tons of radioactive water has to end up somewhere, and in truedelphi May 2014 #18

That's 300 tons a day RobertEarl May 2014 #20

My that number seems scary! NuclearDem May 2014 #21

Math has a demonstrated pro-nuke bias. MohRokTah May 2014 #25

Ocean science is your next lesson, eh? RobertEarl May 2014 #29

Dude, you are using propaganda, not science. MohRokTah May 2014 #30

Eh? RobertEarl May 2014 #35

I have yet to see a single bit of solid science posted by you. eom MohRokTah May 2014 #37

That must mean you can't read RobertEarl May 2014 #39

Oh I can read. MohRokTah May 2014 #40

No paranoia here RobertEarl May 2014 #41

Where is the dilution factor in everything you are saying? MohRokTah May 2014 #43

So, no answers to simple questions? RobertEarl May 2014 #50

Anti-science? NuclearDem May 2014 #44

Thanks for putting up a good fight. truedelphi May 2014 #124

It's worth the effort RobertEarl May 2014 #125

It's been shown in models that the concentration of radioactive material is 2 to 27 becquerels... Gravitycollapse May 2014 #122

Isn't that the mapping of the tsunami? longship May 2014 #19

All it "gains" is the general public lumping rational nuclear skeptics in with the loons. NuclearDem May 2014 #22

Your hypothesis may still be operative. longship May 2014 #32

Fun? RobertEarl May 2014 #38

Well, might as well just have some fun with it. NuclearDem May 2014 #42

I despise nuclear energy. longship May 2014 #45

You are the only one making stuff up RobertEarl May 2014 #47

Actually, you were banned from E&E largely because you were making shit up and spamming it. NuclearDem May 2014 #48

You should not tell lies like that RobertEarl May 2014 #56

Trust me, I read through those threads in E&E NuclearDem May 2014 #59

That's not true RobertEarl May 2014 #62

Umm... dude pintobean May 2014 #90

I love you guys following me!! RobertEarl May 2014 #91

You have an odd definition of owned. NuclearDem May 2014 #95

You pretty much owned this thread? pintobean May 2014 #97

Go ahead and laugh Orrex May 2014 #137

And who says the Big Nuke industry doesn't have the ability to slant truedelphi May 2014 #2

I guess they paid off the scientists zappaman May 2014 #3

Unless you actually travel to see the scientists and talk to them, you don't have any truedelphi May 2014 #17

Isn't it funny how the only cooked books and bogus studies tend to be on the other side? NuclearDem May 2014 #11

Nobody would be so stupid as to claim sea star wasting was from Fukushima! longship May 2014 #80

The pacific has been radiated for a long time RobertEarl May 2014 #84

Damnit, I put those marshmallows out for nothing mindwalker_i May 2014 #4

You know, that site wouldn't load on my iPhone. NuclearDem May 2014 #79

Why do you work so hard to tell us not to worry or believe? FreedRadical May 2014 #55

Of course, there is risk. longship May 2014 #58

What is killing the sea stars? RobertEarl May 2014 #60

Please do not make this personal. longship May 2014 #67

Don't make it personal? RobertEarl May 2014 #70

Of course radiation has been ruled out. longship May 2014 #76

Well we know what it isn't.. radiation from Fukushima. Unless it's time traveling radiation. X_Digger May 2014 #116

That's dumb RobertEarl May 2014 #117

Radiation from Fukushima certainly can be discounted. Unless it can travel backwards in time. X_Digger May 2014 #118

Prove it. RobertEarl May 2014 #120

1) You don't prove negatives. NuclearDem May 2014 #121

You have been saying the science is bad, FreedRadical May 2014 #63

Because there are people who have spent most of their lives studying oceanography or radiation NuclearDem May 2014 #66

It's NOT safe. FreedRadical May 2014 #72

Uh. Huh. NuclearDem May 2014 #75

Cool. FreedRadical May 2014 #78
