Unscientific American

ByRod Adams

Okay – I’ll admit that sometimes I am a bit slow to discover good items. There is just so much time during the day and so much material to read.

Stuart Peterson, a frequent commenter on this blog, has his own blog at Nuclear Is Our Future. About a month ago, he published a terrific piece titled Unscientific American in which he responds to Amory Lovins September 2005 article in Scientific American.

I take my hat off to Stuart and highly recommend that you go and read what he has to say.

Right after my last post, I realized that the magic of YouTube was showing me that there was already a rebuttal posted to “Stop the nuclear bailout”.

Well written article about the need for nuclear power in Turkey
