GOT MILK? WATER? RADIO? BATTERIES? CANNED GOODS? CAN OPENER? AIR RAID SHELTER? RADIATION PROTECTION? DUH? POWER ? © - Tom Hyland - 4/17/11 There are all kinds of Power - Electrical - which turns Turbines, Engines, and Motors - Wind - the uncontrolled force of Nature is Abounding - Chemical and Gasoline - probably our Biggest Downfall - Solar - the endless emission of the Sun’s Rays - NUCLEAR - THE WORST TO BE FEARED! Religious - that which keeps the ‘Sheep in The Fold’! Political - the Power in Every Country which has always Ruled! Financial - the ‘Purse-Strings’ control the entire World - Including especially the Politicians Themselves! Military - those with the Biggest Guns Ultimately Rule the Others! WHY IS NUCLEAR THE WORST? The ‘Splitting of The Atom’ Has Unleashed the Most Horrible, Devastating Kind of Death! The Atomic Bomb! The Hydrogen Bomb! Uranium - Plutonium - Radium - NUCLEAR RADIATION! Has Everyone Forgotten Hiroshima and Nagasaki? August 6th, and 9th, 1945 - KA-BOOM! Estimated 150,000 to 200,000 Civilians Killed - INSTANTLY! Within 5 years, by 1950, another estimated 50,000 - Because of various forms of Radiation Poisoning/Cancer. UCLA CITATION BELOW: "Atomic Bomb Radiation When certain atomic nuclei, notably those of uranium and plutonium, are struck by neutrons, they do not radiate in the usual way. Instead, they split into two roughly equal parts and give off a large burst of energy. It is this energy that provides the explosive power of an atomic bomb, and that can be coverted into useful power in an atomic pile." AND JUST WHAT IS - AN ATOMIC PILE? From - thefreedictionary.com “atomic pile - a nuclear reactor that uses controlled nuclear fission to generate energy - atomic reactor, chain reactor, pile nuclear reactor, reactor - (physics) any of several kinds of apparatus that maintain and control a nuclear reaction for the production of energy or artificial elements.” NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS We have one in Maryland, located at Calvert Cliffs - On Western Shore of The Chesapeake Bay, Near Lusby, in Calvert County. IT was Supposed to Save Us Money - SURE! Whenever some Lame Reason occurs, and they Switch to COAL - We get Extra Charges on our BGE Bills! ACCORDING TO GREENPEACE - THERE ARE 63 REACTORS IN U.S.A. MOSTLY FROM CENTER TO EAST COAST! What happens to All the Radioactive Waste? Where is it Stored? How is it Stored? Who Controls it? How is it Regulated? Who Cares? Who Gives a Damn? Certainly Not our Government! Nor our Politicians! Nor “We The People”! Let’s All Just ‘Twiddle Our Thumbs’ Ignore ‘The HOT Potato’ Wait until Nature Hits US - Like JAPAN! Swallow All the ‘Bull-Crap’ out of D.C. And - The Magnificent, Marvelous Media - BUILD MORE NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS! It’s OK - It’s SAFE! SURE! Fa-Get-A-Bout - SENSIBLE, SAFE, SOLAR ENERGY! Don’t Invest in Efficient Alternate Energy - Let ‘The Powers That Be’ CON You Some More! ‘Give it To Mikey - He’ll Eat It’ Unless and Until The Petroleum Companies Can Buy Out and Buy Up All the Patents And Little Existing Companies - And Control The Solar Industry - IT AIN’T GON’NA HAPPEN! © - TKH.
