[ RadSafe ] Solar radiation, global warming and HP future employment

[Jerry Cohen]

I don't know! This whole business of trying to counter anti-nuclear hysteria 
with global warming hysteria seems very disturbing. I don't mean to preach, 
but I have always believed that two wrongs do not make a right----no matter 
how worthy the cause may be.    Jerry Cohen
