Thank you for the...Wombat Whiskers and SeekerBlog. Thank you for the link to Brave New Climate! I have added it to my blog list. <br /><br />I probably won't add more climate websites to my blog list, though. As I said in my first post, I am trying for a fairly narrow focus in support of Vermont Yankee. On the other hand, I am new at this blogging thing, so I may well expand my list later. <br /><br />The Brave New Climate site has a tab on Sustainable Nuclear. I couldn't resist that one!Meredith Angwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737538041807740424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-11657119944461214772010-01-04T16:06:18.700-05:002010-01-04T16:06:18.700-05:00Meredith - I forgot to list two other blogroll rec...Meredith - I forgot to list two other blogroll recommendations:<br /><br />(1) <a href="http://www.prescriptionfortheplanet.com/" rel="nofollow">Prescription for the Planet</a> by Tom Blees<br /><br />(2) <a href="http://www.thesciencecouncil.com/index.php/about-us" rel="nofollow">The Science Council for Global Initiatives</a>, an international group of scientists, politicians, activists.

I have another recommendation to support your need for accurate information that is accessible to ordinary voters. That is <a href="http://bravenewclimate.com/about/" rel="nofollow">BraveNewClimate.com</a>, the public website of Australian climate scientist <a href="http://www.adelaide.edu.au/directory/barry.brook" rel="nofollow">Prof. Barry Brook</a> (Adelaide University). Like me, Dr. Brook used to be a non-supporter of expanded nuclear generation. After much careful research he has concluded that nuclear power is absolutely essential to a low carbon future.<br /><br />Like you, Barry is dedicating personal time to effective public communications — to help voters and politicians learn that "renewables" cannot achieve the low carbon energy future we need. But in contrast we have a chance of achieving our carbon concentration goals if we focus upon rapid deployment of Gen 3+ and Gen 4 technology.<br /><br />Barry's focus is to reorient the efforts of those concerned about AGW <a href="http://seekerblog.com/archives/20091008/how-to-get-climate-policy-back-on-course/" rel="nofollow">away from the failed Kyoto "targets" activity</a>, and toward <a href="http://bravenewclimate.com/climate-action-plans/" rel="nofollow">action plans that will work</a>.<br /><br />Lastly, Barry has assembled up-to-date commentary refuting all of the standard anti-nuclear objections.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233357303102594951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-87516875335502669522010-01-03T14:39:48.047-05:002010-01-03T14:39:48.047-05:00Welcome, from a close neighbor in Quebec.

Dedicated groups spread misinformation, and there has not been much activity in countering them.

Citizen's Action Network, Vermont Public Interest Research Group... but their only purpose appears to be spreading misinformation about VY and getting it shut down. I bet that even if we got an overwhelming number of Vermonters to support VY they wouldn't change their website a bit.DunnJH4https://www.blogger.com/profile/03172891041632879799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-87663899758106911962010-01-03T09:48:33.213-05:002010-01-03T09:48:33.213-05:00Meredith - Dan might have followed you first, but ...Meredith - Dan might have followed you first, but it looks like I can claim the first comment on your new blog.<br /><br />Welcome to the loose association of independently minded - often aggressively so - pro-nuclear bloggers.
