Nuclear Industry Spends Money on Lobbying and P.R. … Instead of Safety

We’ve previously noted that “nuclear can be safe or it can be cheap … but it can’t be both”.

We spent ten times more money for PR campaigns than we did for real safety measures. It’s a terrible thing.

If the nuclear industry had spent the money on safety measures, instead of empty PR, Fukushima wouldn’t have happened.
