LOL
Phoenix is about 60 miles or so from the Palo Verde plant. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy for sure...
run to the hills, gents
487 miles bitchez!!!!
Of course, I am living in the town thats probably #2 or #3 on any foreign military "To nuke" priority list.
i have 4 within 49 miles and three of them have had accidents and or problems in the past. awesome
What about the fantasy of safe traditional powerplants both in electric generation and in transportation? Do nuclear plants kill 100K+/year - fossil fuel pollution deaths from respiratory problems, cancer, miscarriages, etc? How about refinery accidents which have destroyed whole towns in the US before? Birth defects, numerous chronic health problems, high economic and environmental costs from production/use/spills, numerous wars for oil, negatively influencing foreign countries in our interest, etc...
Why doesn't anyone else panic about continuing with proven unsafe conventional technology - how is it better than the record with US nuclear power?

Jebus, your such a party pooper.
cars are dangerous yet we have millions of miles of roads
choking on food is dangerous, yet we keep eating
I grew up ~5 miles from that, and my mother works in a school district that is less than a mile away (in probably the closest school to it). The evacuation plans have been a standing joke for as long as I can remember, as there is NO way thousands (hundreds of thousands?) could evacuate that area. The only 4-lane highway in that area is rte 9, which goes South (towards NYC, and more heavily populated areas of Westchester). Going West would be best for avoiding radiation (prevailing winds are West -> East), but impossible due to the Hudson river and the fact that the only span within 20 miles is a 2-lane bridge that's hard to get to. North would be the 2nd best option, except that there is literally 1 decent road going north (rte 9) and that's still only a single 2-lane road. East has the most roads, but that's a more heavily populated area and there are no decent highways until you get ~15+ miles. Everything else is suburban hell with traffic lights and overcrowding.
So we'd get the little evacuation plans and laugh at how they weren't based in reality, and then go on about our business. It is NY, after all...
As it should be.487 miles bitchez!!!!

Has nothing to do with that installation in the photo either. When you have a chance to wipe out a hotbed of religious extremism, you have to take it, amirite?
