Changing coverage of nuclear power

ByRod Adams

Dan Yurman at Idaho Samizdat: Nuke Notes published a blog on Sunday, February 10, 2008 titled News media sees nuclear in a new light that is worth a look.

In the article, he provides several links to stories supporting his thesis of the fact that the mainstream media is starting to take a new look at the power from the atom. I will let you visit his article to find those links.

However, just in case you are in a hurry, you really should visit this Cafe Press page with some hilarious Tee Shirt art if you are a nuke and want a little chuckle.

By my dictionary, micro means small – specifically it is the prefix that stands for one millionth in the metric system. Here is how Amory Lovins…
