Jobs for Dems? Outlook is very good for 12,000 to 21,000 new jobs at just one plant

[rdean]

ATLANTA — The Southern Co. believes it can break ground on the country's first nuclear plant in 30 years, but it will need a new generation of workers to run it.

Plans for building a wave of nuclear reactors would create a need for 12,000 to 21,000 new workers ranging from specially trained maintenance crews to nuclear physicists and engineers. The need for labor is compounded since more than a third of the country's existing nuclear workers will be eligible for retirement in four years.
Power companies have submitted 17 applications to build and operate nuclear reactors across the country, from Texas and Michigan to Missouri and South Carolina.

And we are not talking any jobs, but good ones.

Democrats have to be excited. Especially engineers and scientists.

Hey, there jobs here for Republicans. Truck drivers, labor. Lots of good jobs.

I think they may want people who can spell.... so that's rdean crapped out then. Last time I checked the correct spelling was Republican, not Republcians.

Why don't Blue states advocate nuclear power? NYS wants to shutdown the one that provides 1/3 of NYcity's power.

For "Smart" people Dems are really fucking retards

Why does this thread bring Homer Simpleton to mind?

Dooh!

What is the "life expectancy" of a nuclear power plant? None have been built for thirty years. I didn't see your "link" that gave a reason. Did you forget to post it?

Because Republicans are no good at "science" or "engineering"?

You're welcome. Must be embarrassing to need some far right whackjob pointing out basic spelling mistakes to the uber smart liberal.

Personally, I don't look down on people who do jobs like truck driving and laboring. They add as much value, often more, than smart people. For thousands of years, we lived without scientists, but we've always needed people who could actually do stuff.

Interestingly, many of those whose jobs you look down on are minorities too. I guess that makes you a racist.

I am for nuke power, but only if we have a place to put the waste and if they are run by the Navy.

I'm not embarrassed at all. Even the brightest can make mistakes. Look at Obama. Thinking he would work with Republicans. Now that IS funny.

Who is looking down on truck drivers and laborers? Not me. I don't look down on anyone who has an "honest" job. Not even scientists and engineers, unlike you. I never suggested truck drivers and laborers weren't "smart", also unlike you.

Most of the time, the only difference between those with education and those without, is "education". That is something you can never get enough of.

In my opinion, for the good of the country, education should be focused and it should be "free".

I just know that Republicans are mostly "anti education" and that means, very few or none at all will be "engineers and scientists". So, what's left?

I didn't forget, I've been living with the Liberal Fucking retardness as long as I can tolerate and we're selling and moving next Spring!

"The appeal to the Department of Environmental Conservation's judges comes after an April 2 decision from the agency's staff that the two working plants in Buchanan have harmed shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon by trapping them against screens or killing them as they are drawn in with the 2.5 billion gallons of river water Indian Point uses every day to cool its operations."

Obama wants to punish Wall Street and Dems want to cut our energy supply.

Democrats really need to start thinking about forming their own country

I swear to Gawd, there is something wrong with you.
Did you read the article?:

"Once the facts of this case are thoroughly and fairly reviewed,"

It's still under review.

Are the choices, "Kill all the wild life or not"? If those are the choices, then they're the wrong choices. There will be a way to cool the plants and save the wildlife.

That's the problem with those on the right. They live with two choices only. This or that, right or wrong, black or white.

The problem with "extremes" is they are usually both wrong. There is nothing wrong with "study" and figuring out how to solve a problem. We just got over 8 years of mindlessly rushing into situations and making things worse.

You are actually incapable of posting without lies. I find that sad.... not surprising, but sad.
You post total bullshit - you are hopelessly partisan and absolutely incapable of rational thought. That's why so few people on the board take you seriously - even the liberals here mock you.... does that not tell you something?

Don't get mad at me because you called truck drivers and other hard working people something other than "smart".

They may "mock" me, but rarely do they dispute my "facts". Usually, like you, they just call me names. That's ok. If I can get someone, such as yourself, to think, even for only a moment, then I've done my job. Ta ta.

Hey you fucking retard the NYS DEC denied their license!

"If the company fails to win the argument, the future of creating electricity at the Buchanan site could end as early as 2015."

They have to get it back!

That's 5 years away. They have time to figure out and implement a solution. Building a whole new plant from scratch takes 10 years. No one is going to turn off power in New York.

Then there is the possibility of 5 years of panic and terror.

A solution? LOL

Yeah, I'm leaving. You Neo National Socialists have yourselves a good time in the dark

Well, I'm highly dubious, but we must also remember, the vast majority of those jobs are going to be temporary if realized. If this does occur, I will be ecstatic though.

But... How are they gonna get all those states that have moratoriums on building nukes to change their mind? Are we not expecting dozens if not hundreds of lawsuits by short sighted econazis that will increase the costs astronomically? Or are they including the lawyers in the number of employees.

Another sad point. Most of the scientists and technicians they hire won't be Americans. Thanks to our socialist... err I mean social 'science' minded colleges and universities, there are not enough qualified Americans willing to do the work. And those who can, are going to be looking at the jobs knowing they can get better pay overseas or in different fields. So, we probably can expect a spike in Visas from India, Pakistan, China, France (I would guess at least) and other nations that put out high amounts of nuclear technicians and engineers.
