Here's the full version of 'Confronting Bad Information'.
1 This is 'work in progress'.
2 David Dismore Comey was a highly effective American evironmental lobbyist who regularly crossed swords with the Atomic Industrial Forum. He developed his principles for a presentation he was invited to make to the Forum in 1975. [They wanted to know the secret of his success.] Comey concluded his talk with the folowing words: "I have told you all you need to know [to present your case for nuclear power], but I doubt that more than a handful of you believe me, and I am reasonably confident not a one of you will use one bit of it." You can find Comey's actual talk here.
3 I set up the Powerful Information charity in 1990 and ran it (with a lot of help!) until stepping down in 2017.
