Ken Fallon had said in response to something that I had said in HPR 4628 with regards to me wanting to avoid subjects that some people may view as being politically controversial. He had made the same statement in the previous community news with regards to a comment that I had made in response to another listener.

I first want to clarify that HPR 4628 was recorded and uploaded before Ken had stated this the first time, so when I said this in HPR 4628 it was without the benefit of his earlier clarification on this.

My assumptions were based on what I observed as being the community practice of posting fairly low stress topics that people can relax to and not getting into flame wars. I had assumed this was an unwritten rule that had arisen through common practice.

I was going to attempt to very briefly answer in this comment brian-in-ohio's question on the relative safety of different types of electric power generation. However the answer was getting long enough that I suspect that one of the community news presenters would probably tell me to put it in an episode. I will therefore make a short episode on it and submit it after the episodes I currently have in the schedule.

Spoiler alert however, so far as I can determine, the data upon which to make any sort of objective relative ranking of electric power generation sources simply does not exist in a form which would allow an apples to apples comparison across all industries.

The net result is that any discussion of this topic comes down to belief and opinion rather than provable fact.

I will however attempt to provide some context in which to think about these questions.

Thanks Dave for encouraging me to record an episode, I hope to able to do so soon. Currently I have very limited access to electronic devices (30 mins every 3 days), except for an MP3 player
