What a bunch of idiots at MIT!

How many premature deaths resulted from the disasters at Chernobyl or Fukushima? MIT doesn't know, so what do we have to give meaning to 5,000 premature deaths due to increased air pollution if all U.S. nuclear power plants are retired? If they aren't all retired, how many premature deaths will result? If only one U.S. nuclear power plant produces the next Chernobyl or Fukushima, premature deaths may be more than 100 times that paltry 5,000 figure. Or are we supposed to believe U.S. nuclear power plants never have radioactive leaks? How many premature deaths have the "controlled releases" of radioactivity from U.S. nuclear power plants already caused? Once again, MIT isn't saying. They just give us one side of the story so that we will think retiring U.S. nuclear power plants is not only a bad idea, but a deadly one. Well, I strongly suspect not retiring them produces the greater number of premature deaths, if one can judge by Chernobyl and Fukushima, both of which are likely causing premature deaths every day that we are not able to identify and count.

A Japanese electric utility holding company, which operated the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, says a fish caught near the disaster-hit site in May contained levels of radioactive cesium that are 180 times Japan’s safety limit.

Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc (Tepco) said on Monday that black rockfish living near drainage outlets at the nuclear plant which was caught on May 18 had 18,000 becquerels per kilogram of cesium-137, compared with the legal maximum level of 100 becquerels per kilogram. -- source

Oh.... What.... a.... surprise.

Who would have foreseen such an event? Might as well dump all that stored radioactive water into the ocean and contaminate all the fish in the Pacific.
