Debunking Antis (Peter Bradford) - The Weight of Lies
You may or may not have known it yet, but the Wall Street Journal has been conducting an online poll regarding the question "Should the World Increase Its Reliance on Nuclear Energy?". (Helpful
Hint: click on the 1st entry of these search results, the WSJ gives
access to things when accessed via Google search results). The poll has
been up for at least several days, and I am not sure how much longer it
will be up. If you have read any of the posts here, or met me in person,
you could probably guess that my answer would be a resounding "HECK
YES!! and faster than what we've done during any point in my lifetime
(which began in the mid-80's)".
Within the past few days, commentary from Mark Lynas on the "pro-nuclear" side and from Peter Bradford on the "anti-nuclear" has been added. Mark Lynas is a British environmentalist and has relatively recently come to the realization that increasing the usage of nuclear power is an imperative for the world to have a successful future. Peter Bradford was a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Commissioner from 1977 to 1982. He has since made a bit of a career for himself as an anti-nuclear activist.
I will let Mark's words stand on their own (although I make zero claims of possessing climate change expertise).
In this post, however, I will break down Mr. Bradford's editorial, add some corrections and/or things he omitted, and add in a video of a song from my favorite musicians, the chorus of which makes me think of anti-nuclear folks almost every single time I hear it. http://entreprenuclear.blogspot.com/2012/10/22-debunking-antis-peter-bradford.html
