If the NRC moves the goal posts like this it will be another example of an industry regulating itself, like the DOE kow-towing to the oil and gas industry in the months leading up to BP's oil spill in the Gulf.
Who does the NRC work for? I know who pays their salaries but who do they work for?
Glad to see a public relations tour to go along with the release of the plan. I've seen the website and the article in the paper and I look forward to a better policy. At least no more games by the insurance company changing premiums and benefits at will.
While there is an important place for nuclear energy it is not one where private enterprise can run amok. This plant has lived it's designed lifespan and it seems to me like the owners were trying to squeeze the last few pennies out of it before closing it down (at our risk and their gain).
Good riddance. Good job by everyone involved in keeping our community safe.
It looks to me like the owners of the power plant wanted to squeeze the last penny of profit out of their equipment before closing shop. I hope they clean up and don't leave the taxpayers with any of the closing costs.
Sounds like a great plan. I wonder what the details are. Anything to relieve freeway congestion is a good use of taxes. BUT will it be convenient. Riding the bus is not convenient. That's the key to successful mass transit.
When the disgraced ex-congressman was first busted, he cried on camera and plead for forgiveness. It was a very public confession, even contrition. I thought he was sincere. But it looks like once the shock passed and he surrounded himself with his fancy lawyers, he hardened into the cynical attitude that probably led him astray in the first p[lace. Why else recant when he's so obviously guilty?
I hope the public, including the media, remembers the old proverb, "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." He's not worthy of another chance.
Too many people here can't see the good our elected representatives actually do? With all our human foibles, Where do these people think progress comes from?

You React To San Onofre's Closure
