Patrick Moore, a cofunder of Greenpeace, makes the case for switching to nuclear energy. Like Paul, I agree almost completely, and I think new technology like pebble bed reactors are where much of our energy research should be directed. And as long as we’re going to keep using coal-fired plants, we should be doing a lot more to recapture the waste products and use them productively.
Aside
FYI: Stewart Brand, the founder of “The Whole Earth Catalog” mentioned in Mr. Moore’s article, has also endorsed my thriller novel of nuclear power as a way for the lay person to learn the good and the bad of this energy source.
“Rad Decision” is available online at no cost to readers at http://RadDecision.blogspot.com – – and they seem to like it, judging from the reviews they’re leaving at the homepage. There’s nothing else like it out there.

“Very nice, good pace. The tech was good but not overwhelming.” – a reader.
“I started reading Rad Decision because of my interest in nuclear power — then found I could not put it down!â€? — another reader.
