Coal, Oil and Nuclear

Seth Godin, aka His Baldness, is a prolific writer.  Many think he’s a genius.  I won’t weigh in on that, but I will say that his post, The triumph of coal marketing, was provocative.
He shares what for many are “annoying facts” about energy.  As we sprint to global judgment about nuclear power based on the extraordinary engineering achievement in Fukushima (of did I say the last nail in the nuclear coffin based on the tragedy?), and are overwhelmed with stories about how nuclear plant licenses are dead in the water, and spinach is generating ticks on the Geiger counter, His Baldness shares the above image.

Of course there is extraordinary power in this image, but my guess is the impact on this story, through the media as currently controlled, will be minimal.
