Massive Nuclear Industry PR Campaign Underway

[JCMach1]

Just saw Jay Lehr from the Heartland Institute brought in as a 'supposedly' independent expert on CNN (may have been CNNi, rather than standard CNN).

"100% confident that the meltdown will be contained..." and "The radiation is no threat..."

Some background on the group and this tool:

He is also a global warming denier... http://www.heartland.org/policybot/results/15726/National_Geographic_Promotes_Global_Warming_Myths.html

1. Just 'beware' the next days and hours when the MSM trots out an 'expert'

[The Backlash Cometh]

22. It's the Gulfcoast oil spill damage control script, all over again.

2. Has radiation escaped? If so, the no threat is bullshit - like saying cigarettes don't

cause cancer, or baking in the sun doesn't damage your skin. We. Are. Not. Idiots. Uneducated in nuclear technology, yes, idiots, no.

5. Exactly, doesn't mean this is Chernobyl... However, the situation is

quite serious.

Denial and spin does no one any good here.

15. No It's Not Chernobyl

It only has 100 times the power capacity of Chernobyl

[Statistical]

17. Where did you get that idea from?

Chernobyl Reactor #4 - 1000 MWe
Fukushima Reactor #1 - 480 MWe

Entire Chernobyl Nuclear Plant.
4 reactors - 4000 MWe total

Entire Fukushima Nuclear Plant
6 reactors - 4700 MWe total.

So where did you get this 100x the power of Chernobyl nonsense from?

6. I just can't believe they have these people on as 'experts' when clearly they are political

operatives... Oh wait, that's the point. :grr:

[gateley]

21. They thought those worked while watching the testing from the hotels in Las Vegas,

why not see if it works again? :shrug:

4. .

9. See what I mean about wearing these

Quick, call 9.11

[hlthe2b]

7. Makes you wish "Anonymous" could tap into their chyron system

and identify these blatant attempts to pass off corporate lackey speak on us... or other attempts at propaganda. :shrug:

[JCMach1]

8. However, we are legion

and we are watching... LOL

[Wilms]

14. It's been on my mind.

There's piles of IP based stuff running broadcast plants.

Just sayin'.

12. A radioactive heartland just means a warmer heart.

[tridim]

13. I saw a "Nuclear Expert" from the Heritage Foundation on CNN today.

[Kalun D]

16. Where they at?

Where's all the usual corporate nuclear shills?

they are usually on here in a heartbeat, defending the indefensible

Hey shills, let's put up some more 8.0 quake resistant nuclear power plants and wait for that 8.9 quake

the foremost experts on earthquake preparedness are OUT OF CONTROL and headed for possible meltdown of a plant with 100 times the capacity of Chernobyl

that's enough fallout to make all the islands of Japan uninhabitable for generations

what's the status of all the nuclear plants on the west coast fault lines?

where are the shills?

..... crickets

[JCMach1]

18. Robert Apthrorpe (sp?) expert who has been posting on Twitter, basically just said Lehr

is a big, fat liar...

[Desertrose]

20. Which country wants to absorb the refugees from a nuke disaster....

or should I say the survivors of a nuke disaster.....

Anyone....?

23. Having a planning meeting
