Are We Forgetting the Final Warning?

Chernobyl was one of the most horrible disasters in human history. It was a galvanizing event in my life. It made me very active and pushed me to learn and aprticipate far more than I ever imagined prior to it -- a defining event much like the Tianamen Square massacre was. As soon as it came out I read and reviewed Dr. Gayle's book Final Warning. It is a gut-wrenching read and an invaluable eye-witness account of this terrible nuclear disaster. It is very informative and also extremely moving. When you think of the legacy this event will have on an entire generation of children, it is frightening. Even more frightening, however, is the fact that many seem to have forgotten the lesson this book and Chernobyl teaches the world. There is a renewed push now, because of high gas prices, to start building new reactors in every community. Please read this excellent resource and educate yourself to the potential dangers.
