Nuclear Obama

Democracy Now has reported on the links between Barrack Obama and the nuclear power industry. Obama is pro-nuclear power.

Super Tuesday Roundtable

If you listen to or watch the program, the section on Obama is later in the show when Amy discusses issues with Tim Carpenter, National Director of the Progressive Democrats of America.

There's always a rub folks and there's many more than one.

Another Automaton of the Atomic Lobby
The Obama campaign, as of late March 2007, has accepted $159,800 from executives and employees of Exelon, the nation's largest nuclear power plant operator.

Clearly Senator Obama recognizes the inherent dangers of nuclear technology and knows of the disastrous failures that plagued Chernobyl, Mayak and Three Mile Island. Yet, despite his attempts to alert the public of future toxic nuclear leaks, Obama still considers atomic power a viable alternative to coal-fired plants. The atom lobby must certainly be pleased.
