Several visitors joined us to hear Adrian Bull from Westinghouse speak about the benefits, uses and misconceptions of nuclear energy. He used a prepared computer presentation to stimulate questions and answered them articulately and in layman's terms. He explained how we needed clean, affordable energy that can be reliably supplied. He showed us data comparing energy sources.
