Naturally, I saw this at ACM before seeing it in any US press. I guess the MFM didn’t want hippies spewing their decaf, half-soy, cinnamon, mochachinos all over their sandals first thing in the morning. Too bad. I would have made the feel-good story of the weekend that much better…
The United States’ first new nuclear power plant in a generation has won approval after federal regulators voted on Thursday to grant a licence for two new reactors at a site in eastern Georgia. Atlanta’s Southern Co hopes to begin operating the $14 billion reactors at its Vogtle site, south of Augusta, as soon as 2016. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved the company’s plans on a 4-1 vote.
Get your popcorn ready for the Green-On-Green Ultimate Cage Match Of Death between the no-nukers and the AGW assclowns in 3…2…1.
The funniest part is Westinghouse et al. are using the Thermageddon mongers’ mantra against them because nuclear power plants produce no CO2…
“This is a historic day,” said Marvin Fertel, president and CEO of the Nuclear Energy Institute. He said the NRC vote “sounds a clarion call to the world that the United States recognises the importance of expanding nuclear energy as a key component of a low-carbon energy future that is central to job creation, diversity of electricity supply and energy security”
Greenwashing fission. Gotta love it. Now, if we can just get them to move to Thorium.
Time for a new sidebar badge..?

Want to really make greenies’ heads explode? Replace the smiley face in the new badge with a polar bear.
Pretty great press release by Westinghouse.Next time if they also thank gays and black women with limps, they’ll have it down perfect.
Radioactive mutant polar bears rampaging through San Francisco scarfing down slow trannies? I’d pay to see that, Eric. Let’s set up a lab somewhere.
Mayor–I think the morbidly obese are the new blacks, but again as you note, a 700-pound woman gets more Libtard points than a man.
I think an ad campaign telling these whales how much easier their lives will be after cheap nuclear power fissions them into two or three normal-sized people would really sell.
(That may be the greatest line I’ve ever written.)
Fat, black, lesbian, illegal alien, Muslim amputee nukular technicians with Tourette’s Syndrome who drive Chevy Dolts. Imagine what AG Eric “Guns? What Guns?” Holder would do if you axed one of them to show some ID at the polling place?
You should have a tightly compacted SG as the nucleus and lots of energetic electrons whiz-banging all over the place for a new badge, indeed.
But it should be an evil Joker type grin with glowing streaks where the electrons pass through and fro.
But I don’t know about polar bears. Maybe some irradiated ones nearby who have lost all their fur? Hmmm?
And don’t forget a baby seal with three eyes.
That would look awesome with the irradiated polar bear.
The latest in the Oz is pretty good too. When you’ve lost Bill Leak you’ve lost the planet.
Good on ya, Bruce. Welcome to the puzzle house.
Now do you teach Logical Positivism or Hegelian Philosophy?
Either way…No Poofters!
My hons project was to make sheep viagra (a steroid called ‘equol’) & have degree thingy with the word philosphy written on it from the (then) nearest uni to Wooloomooloo. Truth! So, ‘Bruce’.
Lest you disbelieve, I can tell you of the unofficial uni annual footrace. A pub crawl of a schooner at each of the 21 local pubs. No one has been known to win the crawl or even finish. We drank therefore we were.
We drank therefore we were.
Awesome. Sounds like it should be on a coat of arms, Bruce…maybe with a Tazzy Tiger.
Damn, I’d love to have a PhD from the Univ. of Wooloomooloo, even an undergrad degree, even a fake one. Just so people could go, “What the fuck is that?” and stutter to pronounce it.
