In reply to the discussion: Former EPA leader: ‘Irresponsible’ for US to halt nuclear power [View all]FBaggins
(26,742 posts)11. NIRS is less credible.
They aren't grassroots environmentalists, they're hardcore anti-nukes (which is not the same thing)... and Nuclear Matters doesn't exactly claim to be a grassroots organization, so how can they be "astroturf"?
Sure looks like The Hill and the Clinton&Obama administration EPA head (the longest-serving in history) - and head of the WH office of Energy and Climate Change - finds them pretty credible.
When discussing public policy... I'd say that she and people like senators Evan Bayh, Bill Daley, Blanche Lincoln... along with union presidents Edwin Hill and Sean McGarvey - carry quite a bit more weight than a clearinghouse for anti-nuclear propaganda.

And you still think that's somehow connected to demon cores at Fukushima, right?
