Relationships between politics and energy system viewpoints

ByRod Adams

Eric McErlain of NEI Nuclear Notes pointed me to an interesting discussion that is taking place under the title of The Long Green over on Unqualified Offerings.

There are about 30 comments and counting. I have participated, but will not cross-post my comments here since they would not make too much sense out of the context of the discussion. If you are interested in some reasonably civil and well thought out discussions about energy, progressive attitudes, libertarian philosophies and the technical advantages of various forms of energy production, I encourage you to visit the provided links and join in.
