Yankee Nuclear Power Plant

So I was listening to this big wig who is CEO of the company that owns the Yankee Nuclear Power Plant. From Wikipaedia:

"In February 2010, the Vermont Senate voted 26 to 4 against re-licensing of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Plant after 2012, citing radioactive tritium leaks, misstatements in testimony by plant officials, a cooling tower collapse in 2007, and other problems.[4] There is an absence of a clear plan to replace the electricity generated by the plant, which has caused concern among some businesses in Vermont.[5]"

Now this guy was trying to defend trying to keep the plant open (after all, not a lot of tritium escaped.) He compared it to an old car that breaks down and needs a lot of maintenance. Hey THAT I can understand. I have an old car that breaks down a lot and needs a lot of maintenance.

The only difference is that my car doesn't glow in the dark when it does break down!!!!
