We propose that the Left, broadly speaking, should support, not oppose, nuclear energy. </span></span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"></span></span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">We will be posting here a <strong>Manifesto for Nuclear Energy</strong> that we hope can be the basis of a discussion on the left among pro- and anti-nuclear activists. We feel that by and large there has been only knee-jerk opposition to nuclear energy by the left. Few have re-examined the technology of nuclear power production, the enormous changes that have been made in operating safely old plants since 3 Mile Island and Chernobyl and the newer Generation III plants currently under construction or being proposed. </span></span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"></span></span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">We stand in opposition to the capitalist mode of production: we are for the nationalization of energy resources, transparent and open regulation of nuclear energy and in complete opposition to the privatization of energy resources anywhere in the world.</span><br /><br /></span><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8519699977242475832-2220956164555680337?l=leftatomics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>David Waltershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05894988752258549848noreply@blogger.com13
