Maybe nuclear power isn't so bad after all

Interesting article. Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore is saying that his group made a mistake in the 1970s and ’80s in opposing nuclear power plants.

“We got a lot of things right in the early years of the environmental movement,” Moore said, as he described Greenpeace’s battles against nuclear weapons testing and toxic waste and its Save the Whales campaign, but also made the mistake of tying its opposition to nuclear weapons with its position on nuclear energy as though everything nuclear was evil.

“If it hadn’t been for the environmental movement back then, there would be a lot less coal plants and a lot more nuclear plants in the United States and around the world today,” he said. “It was a serious error.”
