"This week our feature item is called, "Fission Vision" - 
The debate over nuclear power.

"Sales of gas-guzzling sport utility vehicles are soaring, 
gas prices are rising, home heating costs are going 
through the roof, coal fired power plants are spewing 
out greenhouse gasses while global climate change is
becoming more evident...  What's going on?

"Is there no solution to our conspicuous consumption 
of fossil fuels?

"US President Bush seems to have an answer...build 
more nuclear power plants.

"Are nukes a solution to our energy and environmental 
needs?

"We'll  have the debate Saturday just after the noon 
news on Radio One."
