In response to today's question of the day:
According to Newsday, FEMA certified the Indian Point evacuation plans over the objections of county officials, who argued that there's no way we can realistically defend the plant against terrorist attack. 8% of the country's population lives in a 50-mile radius of this nuclear power plant. After 9/11, do we really have a choice but to close the plant, if there's no way to defend it? If the former director of FEMA says that it's not safe, and the county executives actually in charge of evacuation plans say it's not safe, then why should we blithely believe that we're now safe just because FEMA says so? I have potassium iodine for my family. I just pray that I never have to use it.
