Coal vs Nuclear?!? Round Two

The Fight Continues

Just when you thought it was over and that oily giant was gonna lie down for the count. He gets right back up. So now for this post I think Coach is gonna advise a different approach so our nuclear contender can land a crippling hit.

So where do YOU think would hurt the most? Well, when the standard attacks aren't working and none of your lucky shots are connecting, where do you go? The answer: dig to the body. Why there? Have you ever tried to work on no food or a non-cooperating stomach. The body (stomach) is your core. It's your foundation. Hit it a few times and the oily champ will get shaky. Hit it a few more times and the oily Champs own punches will get weak as he starts going on defense. A few more times and that defense will break, his hands will fall down, and you can land that final blow to the head. Or he just will fall over in the pain. It's textbook. Also making a champ look silly and disproving his foundation is a sure way to get those fans (the public) that were on his sides to come over to the right corner.

So what are the gut-shots we need in order to get those fans and stop oil in his tracks? What is the foundation of this supposed oil over nuclear advantage? Well, that would be fear. That's what this all boils down to. Fear and misinformation.  So the coolest coach of all time is going to counsel Radioactive Rocky to land some gut punches by showing exactly why the public should actually be afraid of oil and how nuclear compares. I'm talking misconceptions about oil vs. nuclear and those startling facts about oil.

How about I land the first one. Energy production from oil gives you (the public) more of a radioactive dose than your friendly nuclear power plant on average. Oil burning refines and condense the leftover contaminants concentrating them into leftover ash. This leftover ash is much more radioactive than what was started with. Add to that some slacking containment protocols and then you have a higher dose to the general populace than the nuclear power industry, which was designed to contain their hazardous materials from the start. Oil plants thus put out equal or higher radioactive dosage. This may not seem like a scary fact, but this is what I believe to be the root of fear of nuclear power. This and the believe that a nuclear Armageddon is going to happen from a power plant going haywire. It needs to be known that there is less risk than oil and more benefits to nuclear. It needs to be know that the third arm you think your going to develop when a nuclear power plant opens in your neighborhood is not going to happen and is even more likely with oil.

Feel free to comment or make posts about your Oil-Gut-Shots.  I really do think we need to consider nuclear from a PR stance and how to get into a good light with the public. Thus I don't think this boxing metaphor is that farfetched of an idea. Well anyways guys, its always great rambling and being random. Hope yall enjoyed it...
