When will we put this madness to bed? How many more nuclear accidents will it take before we say "enough" to this dangerous and obsolete technology? A wind turbine costs on average one million dollars and for the price of two small nuclear plants in Georgia the invertebrate could have built 8,000 Wind turbines.
