26 Nuclear Power Plants In Hurricane Sandy's Path

pigrabbitbear writes "Hurricane Sandy is about to ruin a bunch of people's Mondays. In New York City alone, the storm has already shut down public transportation, forced tens of thousands to relocate to higher ground and compelled even more office jockeys to work from home. (Okay, that last part might not be so bad, especially for the folks that don't actually have to work at all.) But if it knocks out power to any of the 26 nuclear power plants that lie directly in its path, the frankenstorm of the century will ruin Tuesday, too. Heck, a nuclear meltdown would be a much bigger problem."

I want to vote this as both "flamebait" and "underrated." There needs to be an "antagonistic, but still correct" moderation.

that's right, keep belittling, dismissing, and mocking their concern

see how far you get with the attitude of the common man towards nuclear

see how much support politicians give nuclear with the common man poised against nuclear

do you see? your attitude helps the death of nuclear power

but go ahead, mod me down again

let's see if the slashdot ivory tower attitude preserves nuclear power, or if it just makes a silo where a bunch of assholes can laugh and mock the common man while nuclear fades away
