You're welcome, Mr. Lochbaum

One of the blogs we regularly monitor is All Things Nuclear, the blog on commercial nuclear energy sponsored by the Union of Concerned Scientists.

It was impossible to miss this passage in a post published there yesterday by David Lochbaum. He wrote the following after participating in a panel discussion on industry safety at the 2012 Nuclear Energy Assembly:

Before closing, I wish to express my appreciation to Marv Fertel, Tony Pietrangelo and NEI for including me on this panel. They knew beforehand that my views would not align with theirs and could have easily and justifiably not invited me to the panel. I applaud Marv and Tony for soliciting a broader spectrum of viewpoints.

You're welcome, Mr. Lochbaum.
