As of 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, March 29, 2011 — the 32nd anniversary of the nuclear power plant disaster at Three Mile Island ….
Plutonium found in Japan’s soil.
Radioactive water leaking into the ocean.
“Partial” meltdown under way.
Those who believe that nukes are the answer to global climate change
Seek a technological fix
To a capitalist catastrophe. Solar, Wind and a range
Of safe alternatives exist
If only they’d be subsidized to the same extent
And leave no rods behind, no radiation to vent.
Or, as Voltaire wrote,
“Those who can make you believe absurdities
Can make you commit atrocities”
“Partial meltdown.” That reminds me of the drunk guy, who once said, “I didn’t ‘puke’ in your girlfriend’s hair. I only ‘spit up.'”
