Time for 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. Yesterday (May 14, 2006) he told that world that “We need a real nuclear debate.” I agreed with him and posted a quick comment on his blog.

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.

Peter has agreed that it might be a good idea to talk, so I will try to arrange a mutually agreeable time so that we can record a conversation for The Atomic Show. Shane and I hope to find some other guests that are interested in sharing differing points of view; we believe that the best way for people to understand is to share ideas and thoughts.

If any of you are interested in participating in such conversations, let me know.
