Nuclear Waste

Nuclear Waste is an essay by Richard A. Muller about the proper way to dispose of nuclear waste. I honestly do not see one clear thesis for the author to stick to in the article. He writes as if he has no real opinion about the subject, and he is just commenting on something he heard.
The introduction to the essay is not an attention getter but it does not hurt the article as much as the author’s confused sounding voice. Every example Muller gives he displaces it himself leaving the reader to try to guess where his stance is on the situation. He uses a lot of logos to support his many arguments i.e. a lot of statistics but they do not help his argument because he does not stick to any one argument.
The conclusion is interesting because he makes it sound as if he does not care about what he is writing about at all; not in a bad way but more like saying why worry about it. This is amusing and frustrating to me. It is amusing because it makes the rest of the article make sense; it helps me understand why he has no one stance. It is frustrating because he waits until the end to make his point which goes against everything I was taught as a writer.
Overall the article was a bit confusing and I believe that it is a bad idea to try and persuade someone to agree with you by sounding as if you don’t agree with yourself.
