It is argued that there is now a preferred pulsar radio emission mechanism, involving beam-driven Langmuir turbulence. A testable prediction is that, at least in a statistical sense, features in the spectra of pulsars should scale with the plasma frequency, υGJ, implied by the Goldreich-Julian number density.
