There's an invisible force powering and propelling our way of life.
It's all around us. You can't feel it. Smell it. Or taste it.
But it's there all the same. And if you look close enough, you can see all the amazing and wondrous things it does.
It not only powers our cities and towns.
And all the high-tech things we love.
It gives us the power to invent.
To explore.
To discover.
To create advanced technologies.
This invisible force creates jobs out of thin air.
It adds billions to our economy.
It's on even when we're not.
And stays on no matter what Mother Nature throws at it.
This invisible force takes us to the outer reaches of outer space.
And to the very depths of our oceans.
It brings us together. And it makes us better.
And most importantly, it has the power to do all this in our lifetime while barely leaving a trace.
Some people might say it's kind of unbelievable.
They wonder, what is this new power that does all these extraordinary things?

You just lose credibility when you issue such statements as ‘tear-able’. You ruin every good thing you are trying to accomplish. An example is the following statement that you made in your June 19th testimony before the House subcommittee on NRC oversight which I basically agree with (but perhaps I am wrong again):
“The public became acutely aware with the discovery of the severely corroded hole-in-the-head of the Davis-Besse reactor pressure vessel that a lack of-greater-than-Green finding under the new Reactor Oversight Process does not necessarily equate to an assurance of safety. In fact, disturbing photographic evidence of extensive corrosion was available to the NRC oversight process when the reactor was allowed to restart in April 2000, the same month that the new ROP was initiated.… In view of such public safety concerns, an effective Reactor Oversight Process should not set the bar so high for the burden of proof of a safety problem to be beyond the reach of timely regulatory action so as to first consider the financial interests of an operator. The tendency for NRC to overlook significant safety warnings signs under the current ROP remains a concern to the public interest community today.”
Com’on, Paul, WORK for the public interest, NOT against nuclear power. Yes, be a thorn in the side of the utilities and prick the consciences of the business executives, but do NOT damn the future of American energy self-sufficiency by blanket, propagandistic condemnation of all things nuclear (or all things NEI).
