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.

Mixed bag of atomic (and a few non-atomic) topics – enjoy! Shane and I have had a few busy days in our day jobs, so this show is a zero prep show with a variety of topics including long term storage of used nuclear fuel, the design and operation of Fermi’s CP-1, Steorn’s claim of…

Some of you have graciously let me know that you are impatiently awaiting the next episode of the Atomic Show after a long period of silence. Please rest assured, there will be a new show soon. My goal is to get it produced and posted by Tuesday morning – US east coast time.

I have been seriously outdone. Compared to the production value and message available at nobodysfuel.com, my talk at Google was a boring lecture. I swear that I had no idea this film existed when I prepared my talk – though you might notice some startlingly similar topics and thoughts. Go and see the trailer at…
