@GeoRodriguez Try yelling, “I should have never drafted you in fantasy football!” and stomp off in a huff. He’d totally apologize.

Express-News staff covered a debate today about nuclear power that was organized by the San Antonio Clean Technology Forum. We had live video, tweets and a news story. Here’s part of what I sent out on Twitter:

Susan Dancer, who lives 8 miles from STP nuke plant, noted debate in SA is about money. Why not more about safety of locals? #cleantechsa

CPS Energy on whether cost of renewables will go down: “We can’t plan based on hope.” #cleantechsa

Final speaker: CPS Energy has failed to evaluate other options besides nuclear. He said city deserves independent assessment #cleantechsa

Nuke critic: Wall Street rejects nuclear power as “pie in the sky” and a risky investment. #cleantechsa

It’s correct to say commercial nuke power has a better safety record. #cleantechsa

Swartz: Newspapers need to do more to innovate. “Is Steve Jobs the only innovative person in this country?”

Swartz to newsroom: “Do you have a blog? … It’s more work but it’s also another outlet for our creativity.”

Swartz is a big fan of social media.

Swartz on why we increased subscription rates: In the past “we’ve been pricing our paper for people who didn’t want it.”

Swartz likes the NY Times idea of “metering” online content.
