Wow this picture looks familiar. I cannot wait for this to turn into another Shoreham. People remember the last time Long Island was up in arms and voted to not go through with a major project(ok maybe not the last time more like ever time) Shoreham How is that working out for us.
1. We pay the highest electric rate in the country
2. There is still no way off the island in the event of an emergency
3. There is a nuclear reactor at Brookhaven already
The best part the is the wisdom used to close the plant.
We will pay a little each in our bill to pay off the plant (not factoring inflation and the rising cost of electric) and we have a plant that after 30 years only half has been paid off. Talk about generations of debt all because no one wanted to pay for it or have it in their backyard.
Note before you mention Japan there is a plant built with the same design at Brookhaven
2 wrongs never made a right.Any government spending for non essential things right now with the bad economy is WRONG.JMO
Get out of here with your logic. Forget that the federal government is almost defaulting on its debts, let's spend more money on SPORTS!!!!! That'll show'em.
There is no nuclear reactor at brookhaven it was decomisioned in the 90's and they are working on removing the pieces . The nuclear fuel has already been removed by train .
Why do people keep saying this lie?
PS a simple google search will show you the news articles about it.
I also know this as a fact because i have family working at the lab (the waste management department) and my best friend last year worked at the lab on part of the removal process for the reactor.
Majortom is right. At BNL, there is a light source for looking at sub-atomic particles, but no reactor in the sense of something that can "blow up" or melt down.

They also have the rhic but that does not produce nuclear waste or melt down.

1/2 true, (I think), what, and is still tanking this economy is the lack of PRODUCTION, as we slid from a manufacturing economy to a service economy, things started going down the crapper. We need to produce a product, not a service. There are no assets in service and a service only economy cannot survive. When you MAKE (or build) something, many business, people, and even gov't coffers get a bit of the pie.
Gov't spending on capital projects help an economy by putting money into a supply/job chain at every step. (think depression era road/park/school building)
Gov't spending on 'services' put money in only a few pockets.
Face it, weed is the answer! Make marijuana legal and tax the hell out of it and make it an export and this government will rebound. Now back to the shoreham n.p.p, my friend was one of many who took part in the removal. It has been gone for years (not including the scrap).
