About That ‘Safe’ Power Plant

Senator McBush yesterday in Michigan:

“My experience with nuclear power goes back many years to being stationed onboard the USS Enterprise, the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier,” he said. “I knew it was safe then, and I know it’s safe now.”

Oh but wait…

The plant, 30 miles outside Detroit, hasn’t always had the best safety record. One of the reactors had a partial meltdown in 1966, and although there were no injuries or release of radiation, the accident allegedly led to the term “China syndrome,” after an engineer said the nuclear reaction “could go all the way to China.”

Whoops! Oh McCain you’ve done it again.

    By the way, I just sent the following email to my Republican Senator, Mike Rogers and my uber-conservative Representative, Tim Walburg:”I understand that the Republican party is handing out tire gauges labeled “Obama’s Energy Plan”. Would you please send one to me? Since this is the one most effective way Americans can reduce our dependence on foreign oil, I intend to pay strict attention to the pressure in my tires. If we all did it, it would reduce our need for foreign oil at levels in excess of the offshore drilling you are so vigorously promoting. Thank you.”We should start a campaign!
