I retract my previous statement. After doing some research I found that nuclear power is claimed to be safer than expected. (With that said, I still find it hard to believe that there are not some adverse effects we are unaware of.) However, your post makes no sense at all. Coal is not an alternative fuel, and isn't a known causer of cancer. And I'm not going to even acknowledge your quote; "NOthing without risk, we just gotta make make nuclear power plant safing and less spills and stuff".

coal + fuel = less zone and more pollution, cancer also. NOthing without risk, we just gotta make make nuclear power plant safing and less spills and stuff. So you got owned.

Yeah, its obviously all the people without brains that support alternative fuels. Who could NOT support something as safe as nuclear energy. I bet the people in that town are just exploding with joy over their family and friends dieing of cancer at such high rates! Not to mention the other sick diseases and deformities that come from nuclear power plant spills and dumps. But its a good thing Obama took that $200,000 he really needed it along with his other 7.997 billion dollars.

He damn well better have. At the moment, (before he is President, I mean) he is the Senator FROM ILLINOIS. Illinois has a STRONG Nuclear Industry. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people from his state are employed in this Industry. He would not be representing his state properly if he sidelined the concerns of one of his states LARGEST EMPLOYERS. It would be as stupid as Alaska ignoring the Oil Industry (instead of dispensing checks to it's citizens, BTW.)

What bull___t. Obama has done nothing that isn't also being done by every other politician. You take money from EVERYONE (Environmentalist, Nuclear, Coal, Oil, etc.) benefiting from an issue AND THEN VOTE HOWEVER THE HELL YOU WANT. If these people vote for who lobbied them, IT IS BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED IN THEIR CAUSE FROM THE START. This idea that "Oh my gosh, so-and-so is being bribed by those dirty old lobbyists" is absurd. BTW, I am a STAUNCH supporter of the Nuclear lobby.

So what? Obama supports commercial nuclear power. Duh. It's only McCain who claims otherwise. Anyone with a brain supports nuclear as part of the energy mix.

"Voluntary notification" is absurd; a fairy tale for very naive children. Obviously, Obama sold out his constituents to a big nuclear contributor.

It's misleading that the NBC story didn't divulge details of the Exelon leak. The leaks were of Tritiated water, which is water containing tritium (an isotope of hydrogen) Tritium's radioactive decay is Beta decay, meaning the radiation can't penetrate the outer layer of human skin, but can be dangerous if ingested in high concentrations. According to the EPA, water from private wells measured up to 3572 pCi/L. The US restriction for tritium in drinking water is 20,000 pCi/L.
