Core Reactions: Trifecta Goes Bananas over Nuclear Fear and Atomic Misunderstanding

"You should be aware that the news has just reported that radiation levels in Denver have risen to three times what there are here in Los Angeles! Not because of any radioactive plume from 5,000 miles away, but because of all of the radon in the granite and the fact that you have significantly less atmosphere above you then we sea-level dweller. It's been that way for millions of years."

And they say the right wing is the fear mongers! The left absolutely could not exist without constantly scaring people with nonsense. Here we see once again who is really trying to keep us all scared, and who is showing true intellect and reason.

I heard yesterday that GE made the Japanese reactor. Hooray for GE's engineers, the thing has withstood an apocalyptic earthquake and being deluged by the ocean.

We need ADULTS in elective office, who will not overreact, and will get out of the energy business.

I think that anyone majoring in political science, communications or education in college should minor in an engineering program or get a BA in political science, communications or education and then get a BS in an engineering program (whether it be bio, chem, electrical, computer, nuclear, mechanical engineering, etc), because I believe by in large liberals shy away from the scientifically rigorous programs then pretend they know what they are talking about when they discuss these subjects.

but the bottom line is that the oil producing countries have us "bent over a barrel" so to speak. With Odumbo "wanting" gas prices at $4 a gallon. This is the biggest national security concern in my opinion, yet no one seems to get it. we must break the oil dependency wether it be nuclear, or whatever means neccessary. we must be energy independant.

Banana, anybody?

Great comedy on the deadly disease known as Nobama Care.

Mommy, when does Dada go away? His grin scares me!

When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout. Works for me...*grin*

@cheneygottagun are you suggesting they should be SHARING the banana?

[xdrew70]

So the summary of this video is that bananas should be used as starting blocks for the principles of nuclear reactions. I for one think this will turn the poor African countries into dangerous banana powered republics overnight.

No blood for bananas !!!!!

The Hormesis Theory in full effect with that Denver thing.

@dave97202 I am 100% behind the idea of Thorium reactors. The problem unfortunately is that there is at most maybe a handful of engineers in the country who would know the details of how to build one, other than the gross theory.

@Panpiper You are far too intelligent for the masses!
