If You’re Reading This, the World Has Not Yet Been Destroyed by a Global Nuclear Catastrophe.

by Little Miss Attila on March 12, 2011

Better keep updating the news tabs on your computer, because someone might die!–and if they do, it will prove that nuclear power is a bad idea. If you failed to follow the story, you killed them.

P.S. Earthquake? Tsumani? Eh. NUCLEAR DISASTER!!!!!

So those that have had that done are toast.

The reason for this is they are opposed to nuclear power and will use this as an excellent reason to never build another. And maybe dismantle existing plants. And there’ll be no more coal or oil-fired power plants either. We’ll get by on sunlight & wind.

But hey, we should ignore the fact that the United States is sitting on top of a mountain of coal that divides the Atlantic from the Pacific, and comfort ourselves on “track record” of safe nuclear energy.

A “track record” by the by, that isn’t even 50 years old!
