Peter Bedford Slays the Nuclear Straw Man from The Nuclear Green Revolution by Charles Barton

Peter A Bedford, the author of Honey, I Shrunk the Renaissance: Nuclear Revival, Climate Change & Reality is an anti-nuclear activist, who was early in his career a Carter era NRC commissioner. Bedford is by training a lawyer, and his understanding of nuclear power issues cannot be said to be deep. Like all ideologues, his views are faith based. It is thus a great irony that Bedford introduces an essay by quoting Ron Suskind's famous statement attributed to a Bush aide,
When we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality . . . we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.
