Forum moderator <a href=\"http:\/\/greenoptions.com\/author\/mseall\">Mark Seall<\/a> has pitted Rod Adams, a nuclear proponent and the founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.atomicinsights.com\/\">Atomic Insights<\/a>, against Matt (no last name listed), a sustainability consultant, regular contributor to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.talkclimatechange.com\/\">Talk Climate Change<\/a>, and &#8220;vocal opponent of nuclear power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rod and Matt have started their discussion, and your invited to join in by 1) voting in the poll at the top of the forum, and 2) starting your own discussion on the topic in the <a href=\"http:\/\/discuss.greenoptions.com\/viewforum.php?f=40\">Renewable Energy forum<\/a>. While they&#8217;re focusing on a potential British-French partnership to ramp up the production of nuclear power, the topic and arguments have implications for all of us.
