Agendas
TB — (archived)

It usually doesn't take long to figure out if someone on one side or the other has an agenda or not. Follow the money and the power. Unfortunately, both sides seem to be able to see the opposition's agenda a lot more easily than they can see that of those on their side.

There are things we could be doing that would be beneficial from many aspects. As just one example, nuclear power not only has no atmospheric emissions, but packs a lot of power into a limited area, and is a major step in eventually reducing our need for oil. Transportation looks to be moving into an electrical era, and twenty years from now will be a lousy time to realize we should have started building plants twenty years before.

I can usually tell how serious someone is about emissions by asking them about nuclear power. Those who are more scientific than political tend to support it, although often with reservations.
