Keepin' it real, and helping the rest of us to do the same. Seems from what little I know, the big probelm with nuclear power is 1. it's unnecessary, if we put same resources into solar, wind, tidal... 2. it's dangerous and subject to terrorism, leaks, etc. 3. disposal--there's no good cradle-to-cradle responsible solution to the issue of disposal. I wish Josh big luck in getting the good Green Word out to the eager-to-learn Masses--he's the ecoLeno! Yours, Way Nice thoughtful comment, Remy.

He grew up in Weschester County, near the Indian Point nuclear power plant, at a time when few people were paying much attention to all the problems related to nuclear energy. Out of sight, out of mind. It wasn't on his youthful green radar. The nuclear industry was quietly using text books to brainwash students like himself into beleiving nuclear power was clean and green, the solution to global warming, while the anti-nuclear movement was tired, broke, sleeping at the switch. Josh's vision of a green world on his radio show has completely excluded the nuclear debate. Not a sexy issue I guess. 59% of Treehugger readers are in favor of nuclear energy as a solution to global warming, or climate change, or whatever the word du jour is. It's because Treehugger readers don't know any better. They haven't reconnected with the thousands of older anti-nuclear activists who have witnessed first hand the horrors of nuclear energy, uranium mining, the insidious effects of radiation poisoning, the ridiculous cost of managing a situation totally out of control, the corruption! Josh wants green to be simple, sweet, easily consumable. He might be bridging a gap between those who couldn't care less and those who care just a little. But it's a little too little too late. There's a new trend now, it's been coined New Wave Environmentalism, and his buddies at Treehugger just blogged about it. Maybe it's time for Josh to follow the lead of his friend and colleague Simran Sethi, and give Indian Point a close second look, help us sell a gazillion LED bulbs to make up the 2000Mw of electricity Indian Point generates. If only as not to make liars out of his Riverkeeper socialite friends, who claim they want to shut down Indian Point, yet horde all the resources away from the grassroots, and then do nothing, or not much!
