The New Mexico Independent: Ad watch: Pearce hits Udall on energy in TV ad

  • hemingway · 1 year ago
    In the age of terrorism, nuclear reactors are inviting targets. Now Congressman Pearce is foolishly pushing for nuclear reactors in New Mexico in his new TV spot. By the way Mr. Pearce where are we going to put all the nuclear waste and what happens when radioactive elements accidentally leaks into our underground water systems?

    Also There has been leaking tritium - a radioactive isotope of hydrogen - into the groundwater of areas surrounding nuclear plants. Leaks have been reported at the Braidwood, Byron, and Dresden reactors in Illinois, the Palo Verde reactors in Arizona, and the Indian Point nuclear plant near New York City. I sure Congressman Pearce knows nothing about this! This is a foolish venture when we can invest less money in wind and solar power.
