If a US Nuclear plant had a minor accident, would Bush/Cheney tell us?

The reason I ask is this weird weather today in the midwest.

There is a VERY LOW low pressure center over south-eastern Lake Michigan and this thing hasn't moved all day. And by low, I mean the central pressure is lower than some of last years less severe Hurricanes.

Now I know what you are thinking, the water is too cold to feed a Hurricane over Southern Lake Michigan, but here's the thing, it's centered over right near where the Cook Nuclear plant is, and where the Cook Plant discharges it hot water back into Lake Michigan.

I'm not saying this is possible, because I don't know it is, but what if the plant was near melt down, and the plant was discharging massive amounts of super heated water back into the lake?

Would Bush tell us? Or would he head to Florida, like he did today?

The entire Bush regime reminds me more and more of the old Soviet Union.

Lies, going into denial, secrecy, denial of the obvious, pulling all government functions into a massive central bureaucracy, stifling innovation, stifling free press and free discourse, advancement based on who you know and if you know where the bodies are buried.... and did I mention the incompetence?

It just goes on and on.

I don't want to believe that your weather system is anything more than what it looks like: freak weather. On the other hand, Bush has this way of going into denial, and when that doesn't work, angrily denying the obvious in hopes no one else will notice that the dikes have broken.

Not very comforting. We're both up too late. Here's to a sunny day for you tomorrow.

...tell us, force them to tell us, or would they help to cover up a problem?

I do think they would help cover it up, especially with Cheney and Bush pushing the "clean energy" of new Nuke plants.

Mind you, I don't put it past them to try, but there would simply be too many people at various levels to keep quiet. I also think it's a mistake to think that bush and cheney would know more than the people intimately involved.

They would try to use it to con vice the kool-aid crowd that they are keeping us safe.

Ever. Look at 3 Mile Island. First of all, the PA gov't kept things under wrap as long as possible. Then everything got fix and life went on. But years later it was learned there was a partial meltdown.

And then there is Chernobyl. Our gov't said not to worry about anything in the USA. We don't have any nuclear plants like that. The MSM dutifully complied with that story except for CNN. This is back int he good old days when CNN reported real news. CNN had a segment about yes, we do have those types of nuclear plants. 5 of them to be exact and they are all owned by the US gov't.

So the odds of it being just a coincidence are pretty good.
Also, I don't think a nuclear power plant could generate enough heat to affect the weather like that.
And no, Bush/Cheney would not tell us if there was a problem at a nuke plant.

Some plant released some tritium. Exposed several workers to unacceptable levels of radiation. About as much as a dental x-ray.

It was in LBN.

See why Santorum wants to nix NWS?

...an "upper level Low," but it looks more like a tropical storm, except that they wouldn't call it that because it so far north.

:kick:

"Environmentalists are calling it a disaster - but don't they always say that?"

Yeah, I bet Fox "news" would try to spin it as an opportunity for free fish or live-stock or something.:evilgrin:

Of course this white house might just be arrogant enough to believe that they could cover that up somehow.
