Nukes Are for Kids

The nuclear industry is ensuring schoolchildren learn the ABCs of their radioactive future.
The nuclear industry is selling its vision of a bright nuclear future to schoolchildren by offering teachers free education tools extolling the benefits of radiation, according to The New Republic (July 14, 2011). The classroom presentations, activities, and games are the marketing brainchild of the EnergySolutions Foundation, the charitable arm of a large nuclear-waste processor, and they’ve already been doled out to classrooms in Mississippi, Louisiana, and elsewhere.
Industry-funded school propaganda is “making a comeback as the once-moribund nuclear industry gears up for a revival,” the weekly reports. Among the materials for 6th to 12th graders is a trivia game that points out the ecological destruction wrought by wind towers (bird killers!) and solar farms (desert destruction!). “We’re always looking for new ways to reach kids,” says EnergySolutions Foundation executive director Pearl Wright.

I remember the “atoms for peace” propaganda from the “Weekly Reader” paper we schoolkids received in the ’50s. It was full of predictions about the wunerful atomic future. We swallowed it, being kids and all, but the predictions didn’t come to pass. I guess they figure most everyone has died or forgotten, and the propaganda campaign is good to try again. Do bad ideas live forever?
It makes one wounder.
Its plain obvious now, that the Nucklear boys, managed to squize its self into a Green world vision.
All that in copple with the AGW carbonazi systemic fraud, you have the players for the Climategate and all that.
This was also instigated in the 80 and pimped thru the 90 and now its going to save us all.
Hallelluja.
The packof druling idiots is grwing in a staggering pace, all nucklear future is resting in just some Feets of Concret and steel, in/under 3 reactore in Fukushima. And the admittion of a “possible” chinasyndrome is there.
Then what, USA.
Because when CS happens USA is going to be hitt worst of all.
I know already that when Fukushima manifestes it self, thru a full spectrum radi. poisoning, Nucklear will NEVER again be a issue, Nuckl fissoning/fusioning is just a Insane way Of Boiling Water, thats it.
Wait and see.
The price will be horrific.
