Activate the Nuclear Apologists

With the systemic failure of the Japanese nuclear power industry, it looks like the industry is going to have to activate its busy bees to flood the internet and airwaves with apologists. Talking points will have to include:

1. No one could have imagined…
2. The Japanese are stupid and do things all wrong.
3. It would never happen here.
4. Nuclear energy is clean and safe.

5. What? Do you want Gaddafi heating your house?

Warning: Do not engage in dispersing these talking points unless you are being compensated handsomely, as all your acquaintances will assume you are insensitive and either stupid, a whore, or both.
