American Thinker wrote:If Barack Obama wants to show that he can think outside the tiny box of American Leftism, then he can embrace nuclear power as a serious, clean, safe alternative energy and he can state his intention to streamline the statutory and regulatory obstacles to building nuclear power plants. He can take a small part of stimulus package and create tax incentives to build nuclear power, as a way of offsetting the illogical phobia that the Left generated against nuclear power.

This would be change. This would bring hope. The only courage required would be a small heresy against the Church of Leftism. It would be one small step for Obama, but one giant leap for America. Tragically, even that tiny deviation form ultra-orthodox Leftism is probably much more than this very ordinary man would ever dare. Change, to him, means doing more of what has already failed. Hope, to him, means tilting at windmills, even after every grown up in America has given up on wind power.

Daily Kos wrote:It was April Fool's Day, 1979 -- 30 years ago this week -- when Randall Thompson first set foot inside the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant near Middletown, Pa. Just four days earlier, in the early morning hours of March 28, a relatively minor problem in the plant's Unit 2 reactor sparked a series of mishaps that led to the meltdown of almost half the uranium fuel and uncontrolled releases of radiation into the air and surrounding Susquehanna River.

It was the single worst disaster ever to befall the U.S. nuclear power industry, and Thompson was hired as a health physics technician to go inside the plant and find out how dangerous the situation was. He spent 28 days monitoring radiation releases.

Today, his story about what he witnessed at Three Mile Island is being brought to the public in detail for the first time -- and his version of what happened during that time, supported by a growing body of other scientific evidence, contradicts the official U.S.government story that theThree Mile Island accident posed no threat to the public.

Daily Kos wrote: He literally shouted as he reminded all in attendance that he has called for the "Closing of Guantanamo," and that " America will not torture!" And, his words were met by the applause and cheers of people who accepted his words with sincerity. Earlier in the day, French President Sarkozy agreed to accept a French prisoner being held in Guantanamo, if it would help facilitate the closure of the notorious American gulag.

He opened the floor to ordinary European citizens who asked better questions than any American journalist. He answered each of their questions slowly, so that the translators could keep up, with respect, with honesty, and in a manner that does honor to us all.
