Pro-Nuke at UW-Madison?

I once thought that UW-Madison being a relatively "liberal" campus would preclude any notion of "pro-nuke" among the general student body. However, recent articles (and subsequent discussion) seem to imply otherwise.

This article by a Badger Herald staff writer Sam Clegg supports nuclear in the context of recent state Assembly discussions regarding (lifting) the effective ban on new nuke in Wisconsin. Of course, the Republican majority passed on a bill only to fail to reach the (Democrat led) Senate floor.

In response to the article, a future teacher of America wrote this article. Suffice it to say I would not feel comfortable with the author being my own science, English, or geography teacher.

Finally, our ANS section's Public Information Officer lent his response to our teacher-in-training.

For each article, some pretty good debate has arisen; moreover, much of it has been pro-nuke.
