Mike,
I agree and I believe that many of the people do also. It is just that dam group that hands out the fliers with the picture of a nuclear power plant and the mushroom cloud above it, They are so dumb that they don't realize it is not going to cause a nuclear explosion. I argued with one of them one day for 10 minutes and he kept referring to Chernobyl (spelling). I told him that was not a nuclear explosion but the superheated steam that came from the cooling water because they couldn't get the reactor shut down and the water got to low. Then he started in about if it wasn't a nuclear explosion there wouldn't have been any radiation. I told him that came from the core and that was why once they are started up, the building they are in is sealed. And besides those were the old graphite type reactors. They have several nuclear power plants in Europe and no problems. We need about 7 more out here or soon the rolling brown outs will be in every small town. Last Summer they had some in Redding and it is by no means a large city. I really don't see how they saved anything here with them as they would crank up every air conditioner as high as it would go once the power came back on in an area and those office buildings get hot in 115+ heat.
