More on Jared Diamond and Nuclear Energy

Last July, my former colleague Brian Smith posted about best selling author Jared Diamond's support for the expansion of nuclear energy both in the U.S. and abroad. He made his statement during a lecture sponsored by Stewart Brand's Long Now Foundation, and was prompted by an audience question to Diamond.

Thanks to Google Video, the recording of the event is now online. To fast forward to the specific exchange between Brand and Diamond, move the progress bar to the 1:10:00 mark and hit play.

It's a lot more powerful to see and hear it happen than to just read a transcript.
