WorldChanging has a good overview of the “arguments for and against nuclear power”:http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/002147.html as a solution to the current (and near future) oil/global warming/environment crisis. My personal view is that nuclear power can be useful in a few isolated cases, but improving efficiency and developing distributed alternative energy (solar, wind, geothermal) is a better use of our time and effort.

I may have found a group to believe in: Unitarian Jihad. I found myself drawn to them, my world-view altered, my spirit lifted, when I read such charismatic phrases as, “We will require all lobbyists, spokesmen and campaign managers to dress like trout in public.” I could do with a few more trout and a few less lobbyists. Maybe that’s just me.
Stupid Wisconsin. If this passes, I will boycott you. I mean it.
ETA: I guess I’m already boycotting South Dakota and Minnesota. And I get what they’re saying about the birds, but neuter and release is the best solution to that. You know how parents say to kids, “Only take it if you’re going to eat it?” I say that to hunters.
