Austin Permie has started a political discussion about nuclear energy

ByRod Adams

The AustinPermie blog has started a discussion about nuclear energy. Ingrid, a native of the Netherlands, former resident of Saudi Arabia and Canada and current resident of Austin, Texas introduced her debate with the following paragraph:
