National Security


Nuclear Wetlands

Gil Scott Heron said it:

The sheriff of Monroe County had,
sure enough disasters on his mind,
and what would Karen Silkwood say
if she was still alive?
That when it comes to people's safety
money wins out every time.
and we almost lost Detroit
this time, this time.
How would we ever get over
over loosing our minds?
You see, we almost lost Detroit
that time.

The Nuclear Power Plant: Fermi II is 49 miles from Adrian, 40 miles from Ann Arbor, 34 miles from downtown Detroit, 25 miles from Toledo and less than 18 miles from DTW.

Call me a nuclear reactionist, but I don’t like knowing that the government that keeps our bridges from falling down, our drinking water clean and our coastal cites prepared for hurricanes is assuring me that everything is fine.

Remind me, how do you pronounce Chernobyl in Russian?
