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!

Yet it would appear that the reason for their proliferation is not
just the dollars they feed the DC Whorehouse but their ability to
provide "official" information about the various industries to
congress-people who need info before writing or voting on bills. We
here don't have unlimited time to find the facts about myriad items;
senators have less. Finding sources one can trust is a modern dilemma.

Atomic energy seems an obvious answer. Lovelock, in the terrific
piece Jerry posted, makes the valid point that the positives far
outweigh the negatives.
