Short duration nuclear blog post

My friend, R Margolis, was invited to submit an article as a guest blogger here, on a primarily climate-change focused blog, at Stolen Moments of Island Time. Since I've always found him to be an individual thinker and a reasoned bridge builder across opposing arguments, I was looking forward to the opportunity to read what he submitted. [Depending on when you find this post, you may have to scroll down the page. The Margolis article is titled A Place for Nuclear Energy in a Post-Greenhouse World?]

Many of the alternative advocates also see this situation as an opportunity to remold society into one that uses distributed energy, has less centralized energy facilities and less centralized societal institutions altogether. The acceptance or rejection of nuclear energy is perceived as locking civilization into one path or another. It is this perception that causes the vehemence over the use of nuclear energy.

Before and after this snippet I quoted, he goes on to explain somewhat how keeping your eye on the big picture (and in this case, I mean 'global energy needs') can help all of us out of our personal favorite rut of rhetoric toward cooperative solutions, no matter what ideology we may claim. Drop by and check it out soon, though - Timethief says she only posts guest blog columns for a few days.
