Jeers: CNN's meltdown: Right-wing TV host Glenn Beck interviewed former Greenpeace activist turned industry PR consultant Patrick Moore. No one disclosed that Moore is paid to co-chair the Nuclear Energy Institute's front group, the Clean and Safe Energy Coalition. The segment focused on Al Gore's ten-year plan to switch to renewable energy sources, which Moore called "crazy." Moore told Beck, "Hopefully, by 10 years from now, the first new nuclear plants will be coming online and, hopefully, by then we will have built more wind power so that we can turn the gas off when the wind is blowing."

Cheers: If you have a suggestion on good news to trumpet on this issue, please add it here.
