[ RadSafe ] Equal time - a negative view on Nuclear

[Ruth Sponsler]

Who is Jim Bell and why is he requesting his material
to be posted to Radsafe?

Such material is easily available on the internet, and
I'm sure that almost all the members of this list have
been heavily exposed to such opinions during their
college years and while reading newspapers etc.  

On this topic, I'd like Jim Bell and his ilk to look
at this cartoon:

http://neinuclearnotes.blogspot.com/2007/01/polar-bears-for-nuclear-energy.html

Anti-nuclear activists who loudly brag that 390
Megawatts of solar energy can "save the planet" are
either numerically illiterate or, frankly, they're
just not telling the truth.

A lot of times, anti-nuclear activists will proclaim
their concern about global warming when, in fact,
their actions have served to block the development of
the energy source that is the largest displacer of
fossil-fuel carbon emissions.  Hydroelectric dams are
a close second....solar is pitifully small, even
compared with wind power, much less hydroelectric or
nuclear.
