Re: Poll for you to vote to save Brookhaven Lab

     Most media coverage of nuclear power is created from an easy to use 
     template that includes the 40 year old phrase "too cheap to meter", and 
     utterly unscientific information regarding the subjects of plutonium, 
     radioactive waste and low level radiation. I therefore find the below 
     criticism from AP ironic.

     One of my responsibilities at AP involves supervising our coverage of
     polls, and I feel compelled to point out the obvious: In no way can the
     results of this utterly unscientific survey be construed as representing
     the views of the general public or of any group other than those who know
     about this Web site, go to it and choose to vote.
     
     However, the current results might say something about the ability of
     "pro-nukes" to mobilize online ...
     
     My opinion only.
