What an insane redirect... My electricity comes from a nuke plant, the electricity company certainly doesn't think it' too cheap to meter. At least judging by the bills they keep sending.

I've completely rewritten the entry. It needs further work. Blubbaloo (talk) 02:03, 12 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

We should not discount the popular impact of this statement. I added "Newspaper articles at the time..." and I wonder why there is any question about Strauss' meaning. Clearly the New York Times, writing about the Sept. 16 1954 speech, understood that Strauss was referring to the entire atomic energy program. Even if Strauss was misunderstood, he did not take any great pains to clear up the record. User:wkovarik -- Bill Kovarik, March 15, 2011.
