2. I'm still listening, it's incredibly informative and the speakers are excellent

It clears up so many of the arguments about the impact of low level radiation and other favorite topics! ;)

3. I listened for five minutes, and will return...

...to it this evening.

Isn't the lack of media coverage on the radioactive isotopes that continue to fall in our country, just...shocking?

5. These are the people I trust on this

plus Arnie Gundersen at fairewinds.com .. and they don't discount low level radiation and tell us a banana has as much radiation as the stuff flying out of the reactors.

4. The NSC is going to cost 100 Billion?

I thought it was 1.5?
