Now the nuclear lobby is using schools to spin its propaganda

NJ utility uses center to promote nuclear power Business Week By GEOFF MULVIHILL The Associated Press January 25, 2010″…….
New Jersey’s largest utility opened its new $2 million Energy & Environmental Resource Center, education   Monday as the company prepares to apply to put a fourth nuclear reactor on Artificial Island in Lower Alloways Township, a few miles away in this marshy, remote corner of New Jersey along the Delaware Bay.

The company says it’s a way to demystify nuclear energy, explain big energy dilemmas and spark some interest in science.

An activist who opposes nuclear power sees it another way: “They for years have gone out to the schools in the area on propaganda missions,” said Norm Cohen, the coordinator of the Unplug Salem campaign, who expects local opposition to PSEG adding a fourth reactor. “This way, they can have the schools come to them.”
