French people do not glow in the dark

Looks like the Greenies have finally been sidelined on the nuclear issue. Eskom says it plans to have its first new nuclear reactor in South Africa up and running by the middle of 2015 and therafter other nuclear reactors EVERY SIX MONTHS. Ho, ho, that must mean that Eskom is banking on the pebble bed reactors being ready to go by then. Guess they must know something more than the amateurish types who made the anti-nuclear documentary aired on Carte Blanche on Sunday. Embarrassing to watch, this self-indulgent nonsense paraded the usual suspects and allowed them to repeat all the ill-informed alarmist BS that pass for articles of faith among environmentalists. The Three Mile Island incident was compared with Chernobyl -- which is like comparing apples with olives. No mention of the fact that the Three Mile Island incident neither killed nor injured anyone. Radiation victims of the Hiroshima bomb were shown as proof of the dangers of nuclear power generators -- which is like comparing a teaspoon of gunpowder with an artillery shell. No mention made of France where for years 80 per cent of its electricity has been provided by nuclear reactors.. As far as Spigot knows, French people do not glow in the dark.
