Ted Turner Willing to Give Nuclear Energy a Hearing?

It would appear that way. Here's "Captain Outrageous" in an interview with The Sunday Paper earlier this month:

Ted Turner knows there are dangers associated with nuclear plants. He acknowledges the risk of meltdown and the possibility of reactors being targeted by terrorists.

But if those issues can be worked out, he says, an expanded nuclear power program might be a viable, environmentally sound option in America’s critical search for alternative energy sources.

“I’ve got an open mind about nuclear power and I think it would be good to have a public debate about it,” he says. “Let’s give it another look.”

Welcome aboard Ted, we're glad you're ready to listen.
