Your editorial ("Wanted: Bold, not Goofy," May 2009) is profoundly disturbing, so lacking in balance. In one grand summary characterization of nuclear versus renewables, the essence of the issue may be presented thusly: What are the true life-cycle costs and risks to humanity of nuclear fission versus renewables when one factors in nuclear fuel/waste/China Syndrome hazard versus what it will take to make renewables dispatchable? Messrs. Salazar and Wellinghoff of the goofy camp may well be able to constructively engage you in responding to this question.
