It will come as no surprise to anyone who reads this blog that I am no fan of nuclear power. I think it has many more negatives than even fossil fuels which I also don't like. It has saddened me to hear long time environmentalists pushing nuclear power as a good way to mitigate climate changes. Nuclear power is said to be carbon free but it is not.
The Yankee Rowe Nuclear Power Station is located on the Deerfield River in the town of Rowe, Massachusetts. The plant operated from 1960 to 1992 and was shut down permanently in February 29 of 1992. The plant was demolished and decommissioned in 2007.
I have blogged before about the deteriorating relationship between the U.S. and Russia. Russia has been doing a lot of nuclear saber rattling in the past few years and the U.S. has responded with a little saber rattling of its own. The Russian seizure of Crimea and agitation in Eastern Ukraine has increased tensions between NATO and Russia in Eastern Europe.
