Nuclear Energy

The world is definitely shocked by the tragedy occurred in Japan and is carefully monitoring how the situation in the area is evolving. The Nuclear Energy is just one of the many issues that emerged in the current public debate. I am personally trying to understand more about the topic because I am not well informed about it. I have realized that, as for all the complex issues, the public sphere is strongly divided. Check out these two articles: same topic, totally different points of view.

The first one has been posted on the Harvard Political Review by Alastair Su, a staff writer from Singapore, the second one was originally posted on a web site called Project - Syndicate and then reposted on Al Jazeera English. The latter's author is B. K. Sovacool, a professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore (Both authors are linked to Singapore, is it a coincidence or is there a specific reason?).
Have a look and create/share your own ideas.
