And only about 40 years late. All of this (beside the solar and wind data and the accidents that had not happend yet) were addressed in aricles published by the Health Physics Society in the late 70s and early 80s. An article I read by Dr. Bernard Cohen (PhD Physicist and Professor) back then pointed out most of what is talked about in this article. He was also the first one that vigorously refuted the linear non-threshold model for radiation effects and supported radiation hormesis as a much better model. A lot of people thought of him as a heretic. Too bad he died about 6 years ago... I am quite sure he is going to be proven right over the next several years. He was not only good at what he did, he was also a fine author.

I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it.
