*Blink* Paragraph 13 out of 14 is the introduction? |
You made me go back and count the paragraphs.  And yes, it was the 13th paragraph. I wonder why they thought they'd use it as an introduction (see the top right corner)? It's a dumb intro. I wasn't paying enough attention at the time, because as I started creating my post, a little critter started wailing loudly for his milk, so I cut and pasted and bailed. |

Nuclear reactors are still being built all around the world by Western companies. Westinghouse builds them, for example. End of story.

Actually, I just quoted that bit because it was the introduction to the article. I ought not to have, really, because it wasn't that point that interested me (and at the time I was thinking, well surely they'll ask the yanks or someone to help). If you bother to read the article, it doesn't deal too much with that idea anyway, but discusses the problems of possible rising sea levels, how therefore it would be wiser to find a location in land, and how the problems of setting up inland far from greater metropolis will likely offset the supposed benefits in the first place. |
I would say then if the author is being intellectually dishonest in one point, you might want to look at the whole article with a more skeptical eye. |
