Quick pointer – The Nuclear Option by Judith Lewis for Mother Jones

ByRod Adams

I have a long day ahead and am running late, but I wanted to make sure that you were all aware of an important new contribution to the nuclear power debate – The Nuclear Option by Judith Lewis.

Judith has written about nuclear power before, you can probably find her work referenced here on Atomic Insights and on NEI Nuclear Notes among other sources, but it has been quite a while since she addressed the topic. Go and tell her what you think of her most recent work – it is a lengthy article with lots of meat worthy of comment.
