Nuclear Power

I have long said that New Mexico had the best nukes and the best anti-nukes, making for yet another rich vein of discussion the state.
"Power to Save the World" is described as "flat out love song" to the virtues of nuclear energy. The comment comes in a review in today's Wall Street Journal by Spencer Reiss, a "Wired" magazine staffer. The author is Gwyneth Cravens, formerly of both The New Yorker and Harper's Magazine. Cravens grew up in New Mexico. Cravens' "Virgil," Reiss says, is D. Richard Anderson, now retired from Sandia Laboratories, who maybe be the world's leading expert on nuclear waste disposal.
In his best line, Reiss calls the book "a 400-page indictment of the nuclear power industry's tragic-comic inability to tell its own story."
"Power to Save the World" went on sale October 30.
