Followup on Alec Baldwin and the Oyster Creek "Symposium"

Some of our friends from around the Blogosphere have picked up on our story from Friday on Alec Baldwin's participation in a symposium organized by anti-nuclear activists who want to close the Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant in New Jersey.

Over at We Support Lee, Ruth Sponsler is wondering why the Rutgers School of Law is involved in such a partisan exercise.

Carter Wood at NAM Blog has a slightly different take:

Despite the paucity of facts in Baldwin's opposition to clean and safe nuclear energy, it's wrong to make fun of him. After all, unlike most actors, he has first-hand experience with nuclear power, safely shepherding a defecting Soviet nuclear sub into American control back in 1984. That's an insight few of us can bring to the debate.

Indeed.
