Why does this not surprise me? (4.00 / 1)

 Meredith Angwyn sees nothing alarming about tritium.  It's just what makes exit signs glow, says she.  What can possibly be wrong with being able to read by the light of the Mississippi River?  :(

A favorite moment during our candidate forum last year was when Rep Dickinson said, "tritium is apparently something that goes with nuclear power."  Ummmm...

Found in Entergy CEO's report :"By the way, we're all gonna die," (0.00 / 0)

Entergy's got a certain corporate culture that might be untroubled by, you know small amounts of leaking tritium.
An Entergy spokesman explains CEO Wayne Leonard is a movie "buff" Leonard

"is a movie buff and often uses movies in his presentations to help deliver the message" during shareholder and earnings meetings.

Entergy's 111 page Analyst Conference presentation is aided by images and quotes from The Hangover a recent drunken buddy comedy set in Las Vegas. CEO Leonard, the owner of Vermont Yankee thinks these quotes are, what clever, somehow appropriate or maybe reassuring after Fukushima? Just another sensitive corporate person.What planet is this clown from?
Here is the wit that found it's way into Entergy's report via CEO movie buff Leonard

"By the way, we're all gonna die,"

is found on the second page will help wow analysts

Other slides feature a discussion of how to pronounce "retard" and the question,
"Would you please put some pants on? I feel weird having to ask you twice."

Reagan's Secretary of the Interior (0.00 / 0)

James Watt, when asked why he wanted to sell off America's forests to logging companies, said that Jesus was coming back soon, and it was God's commandment to ravage the earth for the enrichment of a select few men before Jesus got here.  (That's in the Bible somewhere...)

Since Jesus is known to be coming on May 21st, 2011, just two weeks from this post, Entergy is simply following Sharia Christian law, which as we all know (and must accept in order to vote for a Republican) supercedes the US Constitution.

Entergy would be merely doing God's will if they were to open the valves and dump high-level radioactive waste into the river and atmosphere!  If they don't they will go to hell on May 22!

The Bibles says so, it must be true!

No kidding; justification for nearly every kind of lunacy can somehow be invented out of just two books, the Bible and the Quran.

Trying to "hide" the release in the Fukushima fallout? (0.00 / 0)

If I recall correctly, there was a big controversy post-Chernobyl when some nuclear plants in other parts of the world decided to take advantage of the increased radiation and released some of their own radioactive crud into the environment, with the idea that everyone would just assume any increased radiation detected at that time was the result of Chernobyl.
