America Needs 200 New Nuclear Reactors

Congressman Nunes released the following statement concerning media coverage of the situation in Japan and the importance of expanded nuclear energy production in the United States:

“I am highly disappointed with the media’s sensational coverage of the nuclear emergency in Japan. The victims of the earthquake and resulting tsunami deserve better. The facts, as we know them today, are not an indictment of nuclear energy safety. Quite the reverse is true. The survival of the 40 year old containment systems under such extreme conditions helps to prove the safety and durability of nuclear power. To provide the United States the energy it needs to prosper, it is essential to move forward with the deployment of at least 200 reactors,” said Rep. Devin Nunes.

5. I think they should be built in a circle right around his house.

But of course, the fucking coward's words are worth nothing.
