It's not a manhood test, and has nothing to do with my point.<br /><br />Your assumption that anyone who disagrees with you must be anti-nuclear is incorrect.<br /><br />Still lots of blather and snark. Still no links to specifics, just a blanket accusation that all media stories are anti-nuclear all the time.<br /><br />It's "old man yells at chair," all over again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-45661655202845066642012-11-09T08:26:39.396-05:002012-11-09T08:26:39.396-05:00You know, I don't have the time to toy with co...You know, I don't have the time to toy with coy anti-nuclear views as yours. You had a choice to check oddles of proof for yourself and shied out. Great. I could lead you to water but can't make you drink. There's no "if" the media is basically/mostly antinuclear. Ask any master of a pro-nuke blog. Look at your own TV screen. The anti-nuclear slants of the NYC media here toward Indian Point is blind-man obvious. Arnie and Helen spew totally groundless FUD to cluelessly jittery millions who graze it up like cows without any problem of "getting it" from them or the media sans any introspection or critical thought. Ditto for newscasts and "science" programs on Discovery and History Channel who cast nuclear in a literally dark ominous light and the fear such telecasts strokes is reflected by the public perception of nuclear power. Lastly I find the reason you're on stealth mode here very lame unless you're making condemning accusations against your company (if it's not a nuclear one why bother?), but if not, you ought leave such a gag-mouthing outfit. That ought be obvious too.<br /><br />Chow.<br /><br />James Greenidge<br />Queens NYjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624023124404414596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-64854198796351392592012-11-08T19:03:56.237-05:002012-11-08T19:03:56.237-05:00Mr. Greenidge, as I've mentioned many times be...Mr. Greenidge, as I've mentioned many times before, your taunts re: anonymity are misplaced. My company prefers I keep personal comments separate from them.<br /><br />That aside, it's pretty convenient to say "they're all biased," and toss it back to me. <br /><br />Still waiting for someone to point out all these biased, fearmongering stories, rather than trying to divert discussion.

Stride over to YouTube and select under nuclear plants & news & TV and tell me if you can find one newscast that doesn't come off with an aura of consternation and apprehension and unsettled alarm and ominous doubt fostered by the grim-faced/toned "reporters," and note the air times they give opponents and jittery neighbors opposed planet officials and supporters. For a nice comparison, search and checkout newscasts on solar and windmills and notice the almost bright bubbly uncritical enthuse provided the "fair" reporters.<br /><br />James "no Anon - proud to be me" Greenidge<br />Queens NY<br /><br /><br /><br />jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624023124404414596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-32057544803649427562012-11-07T11:36:46.051-05:002012-11-07T11:36:46.051-05:00Ironic that the only practical solution the world ...Ironic that the only practical solution the world has for dealing with climate change is nuclear, and people are trying to use the incidence of extreme weather to block development of nuclear power.SteveK9noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-11186602437390637782012-11-07T11:28:59.161-05:002012-11-07T11:28:59.161-05:00that's an op ed piece, which is essentially a ...that's an op ed piece, which is essentially a long letter to the editor -- NOT reporting by journalists. <br /><br />I've seen allegations on this blog for years that "mainstream media" coverage of nuclear power issues by reporters is systematically biased and sensationalistic. I'm still awaiting some documentation. <br /><br />If those biased stories are so abundant, to the point where the entire news industry is frequently accused here of bias, it should be easy enough to link up AT LEAST ONE actual news story that proves their point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-14424236108071089292012-11-06T14:08:01.604-05:002012-11-06T14:08:01.604-05:00Well I thought the Washington Post opinion piece b...Well I thought the Washington Post opinion piece by Phillip Lipscy, Kenji Kushida and and Trevor Incert entitled, "Protecting nuclear plants from nature's worst," quoted in the previous NEI blog entry was pretty awful.gmax137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-53186975287055393222012-11-06T12:13:35.998-05:002012-11-06T12:13:35.998-05:00The last time this claim was made, last week I thi...The last time this claim was made, last week I think, I asked for links to some of these awful, biased, fear-mongering articles.

It grabs eyeballs and sells ads, after all. Imminent danger! Hair trigger! Bombs and poison! Tune in at 11:00!<br /><br />They will never remember that almost all of Japan's reactors including the boiling water reactors survived the earthquake and tsunami in good shape. The antinuke organizations would rather chop off their own noses than admit that almost all of Japan's reactors performed up to spec as designed. They took the worst that nature could throw at them and shrugged it off. Why don't we hear that story repeated over and over? Good news and nominal operation don't sell ads.Edwardnoreply@blogger.com
