  Significant Shift

  There was a shift signaled by this speech which those of us who have followed Gore's career for nigh on to 30 years now could not miss. He stopped boosting nukes. He took a baby step away.

  In the early days, Oak Ridge was in his district and his constituency was heavily pro-nuke. Young Gore the science wonk backed atomic wonders even more than his father.

  This speech is the first MAJOR departure and an acknowledgement that there is no separation between nuclear power and nuclear weapons. THAT IS BIG NEWS.

  Maybe eventually he'll acknowledge that nuclear power, or the weapons complex in Oak Ridge, could have contributed as much to his sister's death as tobacco did.On After months of gloom and doom, Gore's all about solutions posted 3 years, 1 month ago 3 Responses
