Mother Jones Blue Marble blog takes on the nuclear debate

ByRod Adams

The Blue Marble blog has an interesting concept going that will be worth watching. You might even want to participate. Here is their description of the idea as described on a post dated April 27, 2008 titled Pro-Nuke? Anti-Nuke?:

Pro-Nuke? Anti-Nuke? Talk About It With The Experts

We asked a futurist, a MoJo writer, a No Nukes activist, and a weapons security expert:

What is nuclear energy’s place in the future mix of energy sources?

They’ll be checking in on this Blue Marble entry starting Monday to discuss their controversial answers with readers—and each other. Want to talk to Stewart Brand, Judith Lewis, Jonas Siegel, or Harvey Wasserman about their take on nukes? Now’s your chance. Leave a comment below for one of the four guest Blue Marble moderators and they’ll respond next week.

The Monday they mention is tomorrow, April 28, 2008. There have already been a couple of questions posted, but there is room for lots more. It could get interesting.
