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.

    One of the primary advantages that nuclear energy sources have over chemical energy competitors is energy density. Using our current, rather primitive technology that essentially obtains nuclear energy from the 0.7% fraction of uranium that is easily fissioned with a single, low energy neutron, uranium contains about 16,000 times as much energy per unit weight…

    One of the well known characteristics of the Swiss government is its pragmatic approach to decision making. Hope is never their preferred strategy.
