OMG! The Radiation Is Here And We Are All Glowing!*

Let the panic begin for the West Coast of the United States! The radioactive cloud from the crippled Japanese nuclear reactor has reached the continental United States. Yes, we are glowing like a bunch of incandescent light bulbs!
NOT!
But hey, why not panic about it, right?
I mean, that has been the thrust of the coverage from the disaster zone in the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. That a meltdown is inevitable and Chernobyl will look good compared to what will occur at the very damaged Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant.
Yes, it is a very serious and troubling situation. And it very well could end up being a worst case scenario. But why is the leftywhore media hyping this story?
Today on Good Morning America, there was a stellar report on three nuclear power plants in the United States.
The first was on Indian Point in New York state. Well, it is on an earthquake fault. And yet it was still built.
The second was one in Illinois, near Joliet. Not near a fault line. But if disaster occurred, over 150,000 people would have to be evacuated in the immediate area.
And of course is San Onofre hear in So Cal. Why it is on a beach. And next to a freeway. And yet, yet it is still standing.
You see, the more that this is made to be worst case scenario, the anti-nuke crowd will stir fear in the hearts and minds of people and turn them against nuclear power.
Why, it just is not safe. Look what happened in Japan?
Yes, let us look at the situation in Japan.
A 9.1 earthquake hit offshore last Friday. Because of the earthquake, a massive tsunami struck the area where the plant is located. The plant actually survived the earthquake. But could not survive the tsunami. It is a beyond a worst-case scenario.
Most nuke plants are built to survive roughly about a 7 point shaker on the Richter scale. Now, should any upgrades be made to online plants, if possible? Of course. But let us be realistic. Sometimes, no matter all that is done, there is a case like the chain reaction that occurred in Japan.
It should not be used to panic. Yet it is exactly being used for that purpose. And, it must stop.
Now, I have to see if anyone else is glowing as much as I am right now!

*No, we are NOT glowing like anything more than an average, sunny day in So Cal.
