You have got to be kidding! But, sadly I guess what you say is true.

Don’t you know that these things all leak a variety of uranium gases and aerosols all the time?

No wonder the diabetes and cancer rates are going through the roof there.

Now, gluttons for punishment, you are adding two nukes in one plant.
Will the projected annual death toll from it be double?

How long indeed! We have never known an energy source to produce electricity successfully if it is not first –BUILT! As long as the decisions for building wind and solar installations are made by executives biased towards nuclear and coal, just how fair and accurate is this “criticism”? Sounds more like a self-serving self-fulfilling prophecy to us.
