<\/a> ENENews reported today that Just 0.8% of children in 2001 Japanese control group had thyroid cysts or nodules \u2014 36% in Fukushima study<\/a>. Is that a risk we want in Georgia from the new nukes at Plant Vogtle? How about we deploy wind and solar instead, faster, cheaper, and on time<\/a>, plus solar or wind spills do not cause thyroid cysts.<\/p>\n

Now you may say there’s little chance of similar problems in Georgia, since Southern Company CEO Thomas A. Fanning assured us <\/a> Plant Vogtle is 100 miles inland where there are no earthquakes.<\/a> Still, the same could have been said of Chernobyl. And TEPCO back in 2001 reassured everyone that tsunamis were not a problem for Fukushima.<\/a><\/p>\n

Economics, as in the stealth tax rate hike, $8.3 billion loan guarantee,\ncost overrun passthrough boondoggle sucking up money that could be going to make Georgia a world leader in solar and wind for jobs, energy independence and profit, is the main point.\n <\/a> But let’s not forget the health risks of nuclear power, from Three Mile Island to Chernobyl to Fukushima. Or Southern Company’s Plant Hatch, for that matter, leaking radioactive tritium into the ground water 90 miles from here.<\/a> No tsunami and no earthquake was required to produce that leak. It’s our money and our families’ health Southern Company is experimenting with.<\/p>\n
