Atomic environmentalism

ByRod Adams

One of the big reasons that I favor the expanded use of atomic fission power is that it is the cleanest source of reliable power available. As part of my effort to share that knowledge with people that might not have heard it yet, I have begun writing for CleanTechnica.com, which is part of the Green Options network.

My first post there is titled Who is Rod Adams? Environmentalist, Humanitarian . . . Nuke?. (My actual input was just the first question, which was aimed at making an allusion to Atlas Shrugged, but the site editor thought that the search engines would like it better with a more complete description of the post.)

If you have time, please stop over now and again to see how I am doing as another environmentalist for nuclear energy.
