Rod Adams over at Atomic Insights sent me this exchange today. It is absolutely one of the most impressive online comment exchanges I have ever seen. Rod brings up a great point about coal mining in Virginia. Coal mining is one of the most accepted forms of industrial energy activities in the United States, although almost 100,000 people have died in the industry in the past 100 years.
Feel free to add to the exchange if you’d like, although it looks like Rod is holding his own. I’d like to applaud Rod for not using the hyperbolic hate-speech tactic that is commonly used by the opposition.
To all the NA-YGN members working on this blog, this is a great example of the mindsets that we are up against in this debate on clean energy. It is also related to one of our current issues–Virginia Uranium.
Rod, I call for a podcast debate on the issue!
