NEI's rebuttal to the No-Nukes Quint

ByRod Adams

Right after my last post, I realized that the magic of YouTube was showing me that there was already a rebuttal posted to “Stop the nuclear bailout”. Elizabeth King, a well spoken young woman from the NEI, shares her thoughts in a short, well written video titled For What It’s Worth – A Rebuttal. Way to go, NEI!

Something tells me that my buddy, Eric McErlain from NEI Nuclear Notes, had something to do with organizing the response. He is a guy who gets it and is showing a formerly staid organization how to communicate on the Web.

I love the power of new media outlets where people can really have a conversation in public that is not governed by network time slots or the cost of slick productions. Maybe I’ll take some time and try to put together a rebuttal of my own – heck, I have a MacBook Pro with a built in camera, a decent microphone, a cable modem and a YouTube account.
