Peter Campbell – We need a real nuclear debate

ByRod Adams

Peter Campbell is an IT consultant and environmental campaigner (according to his Blogger profile). He blogs at Peter Campbell’s blog on the state of the planet. This morning he told that world that “We need a real nuclear debate.” I agree with that and believe that the blogosphere is a great place to host that debate.

It is very open and allows ideas and information to be judged through potentially millions of different filters instead of being controlled by editorial boards that might have preconceived notions or commercial interests. I recommend that you visit Peter’s blog and let him know that you are interested in participating in a real debate supported by real information on a very important topic – nuclear power.
