January 16, 1981 i

Mr. Conrad G. Bacon 2960 Hannah Avenue Norristown, PA 19401 Dear Mr. Bacon; Thank you for your ' etter concerning the editorial on acid rain. You l

make note of our position on nuclear power and the. usage of coal.and ask:

"Which sido are you on?"

Since the accident at Three Mile Island we at The Inquirer have not been convinced that nuclear oower can ever_be made safe. Thus, while it is a " clean" source of power in the sense of pollutants and particulate matter, the potential for tremendous environmental _ harm from radiation can never be elirdnated, age b,elieve. The usage of coal in the United States can be increased without harm-ing the environment with the installation of ' scrubbers and other pollution 1

control devices, accompanied by strict federal clean-air and mining regulations.

It is not a matter of choosing sides - nuclear versus unrestricted use of coal. Rather it is a matter of meeting the nation's energy needs while at the j

same time protecting the health and well-being of the American public and the country in which we live.

Si

rely, AAl b Edwin Guthman EG:pm e
