GREGG had apparently read a lot about the problems of nuclear energy, and remembered how this and such had happened and these figures could prove it. but he could never lay his hands on the exact case which was somewhere in his files. Gregg would then riffle through his large accordian folder, but never seemed to lay his hands on what he said he wanted. Gregg runs a firm called the Center for Study of Environmental Design in Arlington. He is also overseeing the construction of a solar energy collector unit at Nether’s School, an “alternative” high school based on A.S. Neal’s Summerhill School in England. Gregg ran for Congress from the 10th District in Loudoun, Fairfax and Arlington. Even though he lost in the Democrat primary last year, Gregg called himself a politician.
Reynolds led off the debate, which he preferred to call a “conversation.” Simply put, Reynolds held that nuclear power is safe, environmentally clean, cheap, and growing rapidly. There are 55 nuclear power plants now in operation in the U.S., said Reynolds, and another 200 planned. The entire world has only 76 such plants, with another 400 planned. Reynolds argued that underdeveloped nations really have “no hope” without nuclear power.
The country does have an energy crisis, argued Reynolds, and all kinds of power sources have to be developed. Conservation is also important he said, but to stop the growth rate would “ruin the economy.”
