Karma threatened by Dogma

Dear NDs
I believe we must find a sensible position on the nuclear power issue. While I try to use less energy (I walk my dog rather than drive a car for sheep roundup) and am subscribed to produce more wind power, the reality seems more energy demands coming from all sources including nuclear. As a layman I have tried to get information on this issue from 2 experts whom I know personally as honourable people, a nuclear medicine specialist and a geologist from this ND caucus. Both sources scoff when I pose a question on information from the other's assertions re nuclear plants. Last week the Doc dismissed the Geologist's letter as poor writing and then sent me a map showing no the active fault lines in Alberta, except along the Rockies. I sent the reference for the map to geologist. His reaction, "stick to ranching, something I know something about." (In fact my dog knows more about that than me). Like my honourable friends I am a grandfather concerned about the world I leave to my off spring. If I am left confused with dogmatic response to either believe me or get lost, what about the population our party hopes to convince?
We in the NDP need to debate this issue of nuclear power before making credible policy . So far I am putting my trust in the Pembina Institute for information. I request our next convention debate the issue, not, as in past, inviting only people who agree with the party. As the old Buddhist says our carma (sic) may be run over by our dogma
