Beyond Nuclear board member and investigative journalist Karl Grossman has published an article in the Shelter Island Reporter on Long Island, NY quoting both U.S. Senators from New York, as well as a number of current and past U.S. Representatives, as generally supportive of nuclear power, despite the still unfolding radioactive catastrophe in Japan. Karl contrasts this with the strongly anti-nuclear decisions occurring at the federal level in Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and even Japan, buoyed by widespread protests in those countries.
