Meltdown
If you were alive in 1979, you likely remember two events: the Iranian hostage crisis, and Three Mile Island. If you lived in the United States, you might also recall the release of the movie China Syndrome -- which predicted a nuclear power plant meltdown -- eleven days before the real thing.
In the current issue of Guernica magazine, Tana Wojczuk recounts the little-known story of the GE Three, General Electric nuclear engineers who blew the whistle on nuclear power plant vulnerability to simple human error. As noted, the repetition of the 1979 disaster last year in Fukushima not only proves the GE Three were right, but that it takes courageous people to say and do the right thing to stop the nuclear madness now being promoted by the Obama White House.
Politicians come and go, and they are always the first to sell their souls, as well as the last to admit they were wrong. Lucky for us, they no longer have a lock on public opinion or information.
