Jason Hayes, ACC Communications Director has been invited by the editors of a new news and social content website -- www.opposingviews.com -- to join the discussion on important energy issues we are facing today. He was asked to debate two questions, 1) Should the US Build More Coal-Fired Power Plants? and 2) Is Nuclear Power America's Best Energy Alternative?
This just released website is the baby of CEO Russel Fine, who characterizes the site as,
a site where people can get well-informed on a topic quickly
The website introduction further describes OpposingViews.com as a place where,
Real experts going head-to-head on issues you care about
- Each side presents their arguments in their own words or video
- The other side "objects" to their views
- You decide
People can become better-informed on the topic of their choice by heading to the site, picking a debate topic, and then reviewing the opposing arguments and rebuttals prepared by the site's experts.
Along with the ACC, Fine and his team have amassed a respectable field of experts across the various debates, including the John McCain and Barack Obama campaigns, various think tanks, NGOs, doctors, lawyers, political parties, and other special interest groups. The site covers debates on a variety of political, social, health, economic, and religous topics.
We invite our readers to head over to the site and check out our debates (here and here); add your thoughts to the comment sections, and vote in the polls. Let us know what you think and, if we have missed a point that you feel we should have made, let us know. We'll be happy to do some more research and possibly add your thoughts to the mix.
