2006 Media Project Introduction
Campaign Proposal and Public Resources:
For anyone who's ever spent any amount of time looking into
the
nuclear power debate, the story goes much like this:
Industry promoter gets the following headline in the local paper:
"Nuclear Power is cheap, clean, safe and ready to handle global warming and our future energy needs now!"
Its a wonderful power lunch line that has made utility executives
and their investors billions of dollars over the last 50 years.
The story is then repeated over and over across the country on TV and in newspapers. The promotional campaign has a coordinator, ready made arguments, spokespeople and a big budget.
Its about time that we develop a few new tools to counter this boring old routine, because its happening again. Imagine buying a car from George Bush after the $350 billion lemon of a campaign he just sold the public on over Iraq. Now imagine an even more disasterous sales job. A super security state with all the trimmings for a global nuclear power industry fueld by plutonium, stored being driven around on our highways and airways a ready made target for the those insidious terrorists just waiting to steal some or land a plane into a spent fuel pond.
To the left is are links to the 2006 news library of stories found across the country, broken down by subject area. The writing isn't on the wall, it's in promo story after promo story.
The Nuclear Energy Institute, is coordinating a multimillion effort to rebuild the nuclear power industry. However, this isn't the 60's or anything like the past. The internet and the new blogisphere is capable of running the real stories down and making honest corporate citizens out of the media, in ways not dreamed of just a few years ago.
For this reason, its time we start looking at building a real analysis of the new corporate welfare scam being promoted as the next best thing since the last best thing.
The resources to mount a campaign against the media and all of our bought off politicians can and must be mounted or we will be facing a real energy crisis, unlike the charade currently being thrown about the corporate media.
