Comments on: Nuclear Power Backed By U.N. http://donklephant.com/2007/04/30/nuclear-power-backed-by-un/ Big Teeth. Huge Ass. Surprisingly Reasonable.

My biggest concern when electric energy policy is discussed is that few understand how electricity is actually made right now. If we don't understand our energy present, how can we hope to pick the best energy future? I happen to work in the U.S. nuclear industry, but I'm not sold on any particular kind of energy for the future. (Really. They all have problems.) To help with the public energy discussion, I've written a novel looking at nuclear power in the U.S. - its people, its politics, its technology. Rad Decision is available at no cost online at http://RadDecision.blogspot.com - and readers seem to like it judging from their comments on the homepage. It is also now in paperback at online retailers. Both proponents and critics will find a lot to muse over in Rad Decision - because the real world of nuclear power is far different than what most imagine it to be (both good and bad). "I'd like to see Rad Decision widely read." - Stewart Brand, internet pioneer, founder of "The Whole Earth Catalog" and noted futurist. <a href="http://raddecision.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">RadDecision.blogspot.com</a> Any energy plan should begin with conservation, since the cheapest, safest energy is that which isn’t used.
