I'm not sure how the Atlantic article relates to FAIR's mission and commitment to being a-political/non-partisan. Although there's some mention of bringing the values and goals of liberals, conservatives and libertarians together with the "abundance agenda" - the article essentially lays out a political/policy blueprint that many FAIR members might misinterpret and/or disagree with. Additionally, the article doesn't discuss much on the actual issues that FAIR and FAIR members are trying to tackle. I enjoyed the article and it's contents - personally, I agree with some of it - but I could very easily see this article giving the wrong message on FAIR's (perceived) political position - it could even hint to some that FAIR is trying to promote certain political ideas. Within our FAIR chapter, political differences among members have already been difficult to manage. This article, coming from the left-leaning Atlantic*, is unlikely to calm the minds of some members who worry they're unwelcome in FAIR because of their politics.
I don't find the Moscowitz piece especially illuminating. For clarity, maybe he needs to re-write, incorporating the bizarre leftist tenets we're seeing daily. Bizarre provokes, and who's doing the provoking matters.
So the Atlantic article considers nuclear power "clean energy"? That's nice.....he's just tamed radioactivity and nuclear waste and made them clean. Based on what criteria???I am surprised your people didn't comment on this. Do you just reprint stuff without looking at content or claims? The Atlantic gets three strikes but you also get strikes for publishing rubbish.
What an informative and incisive collection of articles. Outstanding!
