Barbara Boxer actually said...

"If something happens to somebody and they are hurt in a terrible nuclear accident because of what leaked out of the plant, it does not matter to them if it happened before the decommissioning or after..."

"The only way that nuclear energy can remain a vibrant part of our energy mix is if it has the confidence of the public."

"Unfortunately, the reality is that not a single one of the 12 key safety recommendations made by the Fukushima Near-Term Task Force has been implemented at nuclear reactors in this country."

"If you want a future for nuclear power, you have to have confidence or people are not going to allow it."
