But now they've rediscovered an old nemesis: nuclear power.<br /> ----<br /> {{qf|Kent Brockman}} We're here with C. Montgomery Burns, owner of the Springfield nuclear power plant. Mr. Burns, while nuclear power does present a slight risk of destroying life on Earth, other energy forms have their foibles. Isn't that right?<br /> {{qf|[[Mr. Burns]]}} That's true, Kent.

Since we licked the ruskies, a meltdown is my best chance to make use of my 38 room bunker. It seems a shame to waste it.<br /> {{qf|Kent Brockman}} Hmm... when you put it that way...<br /> <br /> [[Category:Comic strips quotes]]</div>
