    None of which is an excuse for slipshod work.

    More evidence that your words cannot be trusted.

    Evasion. Do you believe that the Chinese Communist Party will keep their word? They haven’t on fossil fuels.

    The US is still the largest per capita user of fossil fuels. Pot-calling- the- kettle-black.

    I don’t believe many statements by ANY government, for example the misinformation being put forth about Fukushima. Look at their actions, not their words. Germany is abandoning nuclear power because they know the truths.

    What misinformation? The Fuushima reactors suffered partial core meltdowns because the tidal wave knocked out the diesel generators which powered the emergency core cooling systems and they had not installed the gravity fed emergency core cooling system retrofit available in ghe 1960’s. No one was harmed. There was no breach of the primary containment.

    The action of Germany was political panic. It had no technical basis.

    So you don’t believe anything that the CCP says. That’s refreshing.

    But you see, as usual, you are taking the stance that you know everything. When it comes to a disastrous event like Fukushima, the first duty of the corporate media correspondents and politicians is to keep the calm. Truth is very low on the priority list. I admit that I don’t know.

    If you don’t know then learn. That’s what engineers do.

    Not knowing is a better philosophy than making things up. Ie. the Utopian Global Warming argument

    That’s your make believe and not mine. I prefer to do my homework and learn from it. If you are okay with ignorance that is your prerogative.

    Tsk tsk. I don’t know anyone who has made a “utopian global warming” argument. People have reported the data showing increased CO2 increases crop yields.

    No surprise. Big business multi-national corporations, with deep pockets usually win in court. They are missing one thing and that’s TRUTH. That’s why they have chosen to fight scientific TRUTH with politics, where lying is the norm.

    No, they've simply finally broken the lawfare chain of the environmentalists and global warming nazis.

    All that's left is to watch it disintegrate under its own hubris.

    This is a story of David and Goliath. David will ultimately win out, because TRUTH and FAITH are on his side.
