A Canadian Energy Company Bought an Oregon Sheriff’s Unit
- ttul 7y agoThis article made me think of what we DON’T hear about: protests against nuclear energy. The oil economy requires so much destructive infrastructure - pipelines, wells, roads, flares, refineries, etc. By contrast, nuclear requires a few mines and some very careful handling of toxic materials.
- jerrysievert 7y agoOregon had an active nuclear power plant for many years (trojan), that survived peacefully. portland is home to an active nuclear reactor that's been running since 1968 (reed college), that has also survived peacefully. I think there's room for informed protests against pipelines in the same place where nuclear was pretty much ignored.
