...wants to build a nuclear power plant here in northern Ohio between Columbus and Cleveland to create jobs... (if u havent seen this commercial, I guess its Ohio only) He's saying it will create 5000 new jobs and lower our dependency on foreign oil and all that. It may do so but at the cost of the workers well-being which I am opposed to, besides the US is using more coal (bout 88% at least here in Ohio) than it was last year. This is an industrious state, this state was built on that and needs those companies we lost to outsourcing brought back. Creating one business will not solve this states turmoil, McCain needs to bring in or bring back the jobs that made this state what it is.

Relating to the above statement of nuclear power: My aunt used to work at USEC, a uranium enrichment corporation. She was in it from the beginning; made great money and all that. I think 70K a year for an area of the country where the median income was 23K. She was forced to retire when she got cancer in her leg from her occupation. USEC refused to help with medical bills until made to by her attorney.

This may be more of a personal message and may not belong here, but I do not approve with McCain wanting to build another nuclear power plant here. Its very hazardous and will not solve Ohio's economic problem, there needs to be more thought into this, not just building, just because.
