Written by well respected engineers and published by IEEE. The overarching finding of the study is that a zero-CO2 US economy can be achieved within the next thirty to fifty years without the use of nuclear power and without acquiring carbon credits from other countries. It definitely a worthwhile read.

I think he just hit the wrong key.
On August 28th, 2007 The_Green_Republican says:
I don't think there was any dishonesty on the writer's part. He misspelled "policy" and my opionion is that he hit the "E" key when he meant to hit the "R" key-they are right next to each other on the board. So it became IEEE instead of IEER.
Arjun Makhijani is president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IEER), and coauthor of The Nuclear Power Deception: U.S. Nuclear Mythology from Electricity "Too Cheap to Meter" to "Inherently Safe" Reactors. He is a fairly well respected authority on the subject appearing on NPR and many other media outlets.
The article is lengthy and appears to be well documeted and intelligently written, but hard to understand entirely.
Misrepresentation is dishonest no matter what the cause
Ummm... is it really necessary to mis-represent the source of the article? Whatever the IEER is, they are NOT the IEEE and the article is NOT peer-reviewed research as your summary would suggest. While few would argue with the merits of the "paper", did you really have to lie about the source to entice people to read it?
