I am a member of the Duncan Hawthorne Fan Club!
This is a facebook group.
I became a member of this fan club after last year`s big disaster.
My friend told me about this fan club.
Duncan Hawthorne gives advice about the nuclear situation in Fukushima.
Often, someone reads some shocking news about Fukushima and they ask Duncan about it on this facebook group.
Duncan`s advice always sounds good.
Usually, he says "Don`t panic" or "Relax".
Of course, I love his advice.
But WHO IS DUNCAN HAWTHORNE?
His advice sounds good but can I trust him?
I did some research about him.
He has his own Wikipedia page!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Hawthorne
According to Wikipedia, he is an expert about power generation.
He is the CEO of a Bruce Power (a power company).
But I don`t always trust Wikipedia.
I searched more and found this youtube video about him.
Duncan seems to be very knowledgeable about nuclear power.
He also appeared on TV to talk about the situation in Fukushima.
So he is knowledgeable and respected but is he biased?
I searched on Yahoo about him.
I found this article.
http://www.oilandgasinquirer.com/article.asp?article=\magazine\080811\mag2008_gb0001.html
The article calls him a "Nuclear power evangelist"
Bruce Power, his company, runs a nuclear power plant in Canada.
Also, he wants to open more nuclear power plants in Canada.
"Duncan Hawthorne wants to build the West's first nuclear power plant in Alberta or Saskatchewan. Or both."
So is he biased?
Should I trust him?
Maybe, I trust him 80%.
Some people trust him too much.
When asking a question, one person says "Darling Duncan..."
