I was recently introduced to a very new blog titled Left Atomics. Here is how the author described his “voice” in a recent comment on Atomic Insights: Our job at leftatomics is not to become “industry advocates’ but to stymie opposition to needed construction (and R & D) of base load nuclear projects.
