Taking On Raitt, Nash and Browne on Nuclear Energy

I'm sure by now many of you have seen the video produced by NukeFree.org, starring Bonnie Raitt, Graham Nash and Jackson Browne -- some original no-nukers -- asking Congress to alter language in legislation that makes provisions for loan guarantees supporting new nuclear plant construction.

The Pajamahadin
Instapundit

ANOTHER UPDATE: Here's an interesting wrinkle: The CNN.com commentary that the musicians and Harvey Wasserman wrote is now closed to comments. I submitted an edited version of our video to them as a response. I wonder if they'll use it.
