A couple of weeks ago, I met with Marc Gunther, a journalist who is a contributing editor at Fortune magazine and author of four books, at a local coffee shop for a conversation about energy.
He has just posted an article describing our meeting and summarizing the conversation. Please forgive my vanity, but I recommend that you visit Marc’s site and read A Naval officer’s “Atomic Insights”.

Vindy.com, the web site of The Vindicator from Youngstown, Ohio, published an article titled Nuclear plant reaches age 50 on Sunday December 16, 2007.
