Vermont May Revoke Nuclear Plant License
mdsolar writes "Following the Vermont Senate's 26-to-4 vote not to approve a 20-year license extension for the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant, the Vermont Public Service Board will consider revoking its operating license as well. Meanwhile, the plant continues to operate without its Director of Nuclear Safety Assurance, who has been placed on administrative leave; the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has merely issued a Demand for Information rather than shutting down a plant that is lacking a full complement of safety personnel. It may be that the NRC is not capable of doing what is needed with regard to Entergy, the plant owner, which is also facing prosecution by the Mississippi Attorney General."
And the death of around 3000 or 0.001% of the country's population requires an ongoing a war on terror including invading a couple of countries not involved at all, but killing 100 times as many people, mostly civilian, who were also not involved in the original incident, and almost matching the original 3000 in your own troop deaths.
The world does not make sense.

I'm not sure which is more annoying. The hardcore environmentalists, or the hardcore assholes like you.
