Dispatches — on John McCain’s oil-drilling plan — went up yesterday.

Here is a letter I received today in response — which will run in next week’s paper:

Its a gas (according to the Luddites),
Nice “Dispatches”,
Of course we all are all suffering from high energy prices. While you, and fellow liberals Obama, Kennedy , Nader, etc.. bash John McCain’s sensible solution of off-shore drilling, you neglect to mention the “dirty little secret” that can solve our
energy problems.
You mention wind, solar, biofuels. These are a drop in the bucket. What about safe, efficient , NUCLEAR POWER? The Luddite knee-jerk aversion to a proven, clean, safe alternative energy source could well be our countries undoing.The French, Russians, and now the Chinese have found the answer. It is only our week-kneed liberal politicians that are holding us back for the most efficient, safe, answer to our energy problem.
That you can write a 3 column article decrying our energy policy, and not even mentioning the Nuclear alternative reveals your misguided, left wing , tree-hugging
bias
