Nuclear (Bad) News

Since the Japanese tragedy of March 2011, there has been renewed interest in the debate about the pros and cons of nuclear energy. The mainstream media, by and large, has been continuing its promotion, while the critics of the technology have continued to provide more stories and data to show how bad an idea nuclear power generation is.

Sadly, all this happened just as the 24th anniversary of Chernobyl was in everyone’s sight. In order to help disseminate information on the issue, we have started this “blog”, where we can better organize our own articles, as well as provide links to the many many amazing resources throughout the Internet.
