    With respect, you are the one that seems outraged. I’m not outraged, just pointing out that government can be just as untrustworthy as corporations and in the case of the NRC, there is some history to justify that.
    Government agencies generally should be looked at with critical eyes, as should anyone claiming power over your life.

    Also, you claimed there were no victims. The fact that no one died in the immediate aftermath of TMI does not mean there were no victims. The surrounding communities were victimized by poor business decisions and poor oversight.

      Emphasis on “some”.

      Do you think pedantically going after one word I said will make your pro-coal agenda work?

        I just thought it was worth recognizing that there were victims as my point in my original post was regarding the trustworthiness of those that are supposed to be looking out for the people. And I guess I’m not sure where I’ve pushed coal, but you do you, I guess.

        Peace and love to you, Zombies
