John McCain
Town Hall
York, PA 08/12/08

TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN MCCAIN: I want to say a word about nuclear to you. And I'm very familiar with Three Mile Island, and I'm very familiar with Chernobyl. But I'm also familiar, as I hope you are too, that we've been sailing Navy ships around the world for 60 years with nuclear power plants on them, and we've never had an accident. We've never had a serious accident! So we need to store spent nuclear fuel, and we need to reprocess. [...] So we, we can! We can! You know, you pick up the paper and you listen to these various pundits and all that, and they says we can't solve the nuclear problem, we can't reprocess, we can't store it; we can't develop a electric car that'll take someone 200 miles or 100 miles before you have to plug it in. We can't. Everybody's saying we can't. That's not America! America's a country that has met and overcome every challenge we have ever faced, and we can do this one. We have the ability, innovation and the technology that we will become independent of foreign oil.

Nuclear Power Plant Tour
Newport, MI 08/05/08

TRANSCRIPT:
DAN FAROUGH: Well you know I think what McCain is doing is really trying to change the focus. If you look at his record on energy, you know what you will see is a advocate of big oil, protecting big oil's profits, and so what we feel in Michigan is that this visit to the nuclear power plant is really an attempt to disguise his real record which is again one of protecting big oil and big oil industry profits. The other piece of it that's a big concern to Michigan and Ohio I believe as well is where do you stand on the auto industry? You know you have this amazing resource, some of the best trained workers in the world right here in the Midwest. We could be making the cars and trucks of the future. Fuel cells, hybrid vehicles, that would break our dependence on foreign oil. Unfortunately, Senator McCain -- I'm sure he doesn't want to talk about- but consistently opposes measures to retool the auto industry. In fact Senator McCain has said that he's supported the outsourcing of jobs. You know that that's a viable economic decision. That's killing Michigan. It's hurting Ohio and what we need to see from public officials is a willingness to make these tough decisions and stand up to special interests like big oil. [...]

John McCain
Nuclear Power Plant Tour
Newport, MI 08/05/08

TRANSCRIPT:
PROTESTER: Fermi 3 would pose the same sorts of environmental risks that present and past nuclear plants do. There's of course a long standing controversy about the exposure to low level radiation over long periods of time. But beyond that, there's still the threat of catastrophic accident. And what we've seen as with the Davis Bessi incident in March of 2002, the catastrophic accidents are still very much a possibility. And in fact the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission testified before Congress in April of 85' a year before the Chernobyl accident and what the NRC told Congress was that the crude statistical probability of another major accident at a US nuclear plant was 45% over a period of 20 years given 100 reactors operating. So we're operating 104 reactors in this country and we're getting close to the 30th anniversary of the 3 mile island accident. So I would say using the NRC's own testimony to Congress in April of 85', that we're at a point where another major accident is imminent. That could be at Fermi 2, Fermi 3 when its constructed, or any one of the reactors now operating in the country. Specific health concerns? Well, cancer. Kevin you want to chime in here?

KEVIN CAMPS, BEYOND NUCLEAR: There are multiple proposed uranium mines in the peninsula of Michigan. And as we've seen from the Navajo, Pueblo Indian experiences in the South West, Native Americans bare the brunt of the health damage from uranium mining. And that's the very first stage of this nuclear nightmare. These nuclear power plants are making high level radioactive waste for which there's no solution. Again the targeted dump sites are Native American land, the Peshoni land in Nevada. They're targeting reservations to park this stuff on indefinitely. There's routine radiation emissions from all nuclear power plants, including this one. Back in 1994, 1995, they released a huge volume of radioactive water into lake Erie after an accident. This plant, the Fermi 1 melt down, the classic book is the We Almost Lost Detroit. We've seen from Chernobyl that a meltdown can wipe out an entire region of a continent and that's the risk that's taken with these older reactors like Fermi 2 and then the new reactors are going to have bugs that have not been worked out yet. Chernobyl was a brand new reactor when it exploaded and burned. 3 mile island was a brand new reactor. There's unseen bugs that we may find out about when one of these reactors has a meltdown. So there's tremendous human health concerns, ecological concerns, the entire nuclear fuel chain.

John McCain
Town Hall Meeting
Hudson, WI 07/11/08

TRANSCRIPT:
AUDIENCE MEMBER: "You said that you intend to build 45 more nuclear power plants. That's a wonderful proposition. But certainly one with opposition and many opponents. [...] How will you move this country toward accepting that need for more nukes?"

JOHN MCCAIN: "[...] Americans are [...] very, very smart people. And they know what we have to do. And they know that nuclear power is safe. [...] Americans are sick and tired of us doing nothing in Washington. [...] There's a 9 percent approval rating of Congress.

"[...] Anybody who's going to put the country first [...] knows that nuclear power has got to part of the equation if we are going to embark on achieving independence from foreign oil, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect our nation's security. [...] I have confidence that this election is a mandate for change [...] Part of that right change is going to be the use of nuclear power.

"[...] Finally, those 45 new power plants will [...] create 75,000 new jobs."

Town Hall Meeting
Portsmouth, OH 07/09/08

TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN MCCAIN: "[...] We will develop more clean energy. Nuclear power is the most dependable source of zero-emission energy we have. We will build at least 45 nuclear plants that will create over 700,000 good jobs to construct and operate them. And what's going to be done in Piketon in the Piketon plant is also going to be a big part of that."

John McCain
Town Hall Meeting
07/09/08

TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN MCCAIN: "I did see a person over here with a 'no nukes' sign so maybe we can't start with you. Because obviously you know I am a supporter of nuclear power. [...]"

QUESTIONER: "[...] I live here in Portsmouth. And my father also worked in the Piketon plant and he also died young of cancer. He had 4 cancers. My mother died of cancer as well. And I feel strongly about getting the Piketon plant cleaned up and bringing alternative energy industry into Portsmouth [...] We've done this for 50 years. We deserve better. We don't want our young people to continue to have to work in a highly toxic industry. And I believe that a lot of people here probably feel the same way and are afraid to say anything. Because I know the outcome in my personal life has been very detrimental to me in fighting this nuclear industry."

MCCAIN: "I know I speak on behalf of all of us [...] and extend our sympathy at the loss of your parents. There's no way that I can provide proper consolation except to say to you that I believe that nuclear power is and can be safe. [...] We have sailed Navy ships around the world for more than 60 years with nuclear power plants on them. There has never been any recorded case that I know of that someone was either injured or killed or had any effects of, of those nuclear power plants. I know that there's been Three Mile Island. And we know about Chernoble. But I do believe that nuclear power is safe. [...] But the evidence that I have that I'd like to share with you, is that nuclear power is safe. And it is, I think, a vital part of our nation's energy future[...]

QUESTIONER: "One of the things that I've been striving for is to make sure that workers that go into the Piketon site are protected, and I haven't been able to get that affirmation from the NRC or the EPA or any of the DOE or any of the groups that are in charge of that cleanup and that site. And I think that's one of the things that many people are concerned about here.

MCCAIN: "Well I will (1) try to get that information from you, (2) myself try to contact the nuclear regulatory [...] commission and any other oversight organization and get the information [...] I promise you I will learn, and I will read the information that you send me, and I will act on it as I think would be appropriate."
