We invaded and overthrew the government of a country that we suspected of, among other things, enriching uranium. Granted, said country's alleged attempt to purchase the raw materials for the uranium enrichment projects has been largely discredited; however, at the time of invasion it was given as one of the justifications.
Meanwhile, here at home, an Ohio nuclear power plant has been shut down for going on about 2 years now because of some serious maintenance issues--specifically, that no one noticed acid eating a hole through the reactor cap until it had almost corroded completely through. Another Ohio company (which, if I am reading my electric bill correctly, has purchased the company that owns the abovementioned reactor) recently blacked out much of the eastern United States and Canada for several hours.
Now, someone has decided to combine the best elements of each of those news events and start enriching uranium in Ohio.
I couldn't make this one up if I wanted to. Click here to read the AP article.
