I would disagree with this.  Congress-boobs have unteen-bazillion aides, 
staff (both in DC and their home state) and enough volunteers to start their 
own little cities.

They aren't looking for facts about items, they are looking for who will pay 
the bills once they leave the DC Whorehouse.

I don't think they work to find a source they can trust, they look to find a 
source they can use for their own benefit, be it $$ now or $$ later.

As to nuclear energy, he must be using a different scale than a lot of 
folks.  How can you take a position that the positives far outweight the 
negatives when the one is finite (positives) and the other, at this point, 
are infinite (negatives).  We don't have any idea what the sum total of the 
negatives will be.  We find out more and more every year and just keep 
sweeping them under the table or trying to sweep them under someone else's 
table!
