Having
recently grumbled about the bleak future of nuclear power, last night I watched
a 1979 movie that encapsulates many of the obvious problems.
The China Syndrome is a fairly entertaining flic: your
chance to see Michael Douglas as a kid, Jane Fonda before she became Hanoi Jane
and Mrs. Ted Turner, Jack Lemon at his mature best, and Wilford Brimley as –
well, as he always is – steady and reliable.
It illustrates what is dangerous about nuclear power – people, and the
profit motive. So, nuts: enjoy the movie and say goodbye to a nearly
inexhaustible source of clean energy.
A
question: where WILL California get the
juice to run all those electric cars?
Start buying solar stock, and learn to love those bird-killing
windmills!
