Re: Why nuclear is a "no-win" in the USA

["Ron Amoling" <AMOLINGR@JOSLAB.HARVARD.EDU>]

Lots of great comments about how nuclear is a "no win" situation.   
Lots of great analogies and convincing arguments that would surely 
show lots of members of the public the sane and realistic viewpoint..

Problem is, I suspect, that most of these arguments are only being 
expressed here on Radsafe.  Not many folks have mentioned how they've 
written articles or letters to editors expressing their opinions and 
comments.  And no, articles published in Health Physics and other 
professional publications don't count.  Not many lay people read 
Health Physics!

The messages here on Radsafe certainly make sense and attempts should 
be made to bring them to the general public.  If a Radsafe members 
feels strongly enough to spend 1/2 hour or so typing a written 
comment to Radsafe, then perhaps a little extra time spent writing to 
newspapers and the like would get the message to the public.
