CNET discusses atomic renaissance with Skip Bowman

ByRod Adams

Michael Kanellos, a staff writer for CNET, published an article on September 13, 2007 titled Nuclear power looks for comeback in U.S. based on an interview conducted with Skip Bowman, the CEO of the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). The article is useful, and there is an extensive set of comments attached. You might recognize the author of of few of the comments. 😉

(Additional note – after posting this comment, I realized that it was a very mild way to pass through a milestone – this is post number 600 on the Atomic Insights blog. Yeah! Clap, clap. End of celebration.)
