Heritage Foundation goes nuclear

The oil money-backed and climate change denier lobby, the Heritage Foundation,

will be holding an event later this month to discuss solutions to the impending US energy crisis. Guest speakers will include Craig Hansen, VP of Washington Operations, for the BWX Technology, a leading US nuclear energy company.

The UK Gaurdian's Polly Toynbee recently reported on the phenomenon of climate change skeptics morphing into cheerleaders for the nuclear energy sector.

How Unconventional Gas Threatens our Water, Health, and Climate

Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.

There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.
