The author of this column, one of the founders of Greenpeace, makes a compelling case for going forward with nuclear power.

Good post, libstripper. BTTT

[saganite]

He's made this case before. He's been disowned by the environazis because what he's saying is heretical.

"In the early 1970s when I helped found Greenpeace......"

I almost stopped reading there but it seems he has finally come to his senses

[Drango]

Even the French know nuclear makes sense.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Wrong about it then and wrong about global warming now.
It is not the fake global warming but to better use our assets.

[adversarial]

So...he finally wakes up and tells us the cause he fought for was wrong, but now he knows the truth and wants to lead us there.

he makes a compelling case for not listening to anything he says!

He can't unring the bell he rang. The damage to the Nuclear industry was done in the 70s. By now, we should have hundreds oif nuclear plants.

Instead we have a handful. This is thanks to idiots like this who know nothing about science.

He can't soothe his conscience now by saying "I wuz wrong."

Bacon in the treetops???

[CitizenUSA]

Well, ain't that grand! Thirty years later, a Greenpeace founder realizes he was wrong about nuclear power. Well, thanks a bunch mister, because it's enviro-nazis like yourself who we can thank in large part for our continuing dependence on foreign oil!

[TrollBridge]

I'm reposted my concerns from a previous thread..and no, I'm not a environazi:

My only problem with nuclear power is the fission products that are produced. Cesnium and PU-239 are in particular really bad products that last a long time. Talk about NIMBY. I would just be happy living with the CO2 produced by fossil fuel plants than with radioactive elements that we don't know what to do with once we've extracted the energy from it.

Having said that, I believe wholeheartedly in a hydrogen economy based on fusion. Of course, being able to tip the balance between the ratio of output energy with respect to input energy is going to take years of technological development but that's another story.

[Petronski]

Great post bump!

[spyone]

I know this guy. He's been a rational spokesman for the forest products industry for 15 years. He's not a recent convert.

[Jabba the Nutt]

"...nuclear energy may just be the energy source that can save our planet from another possible disaster: catastrophic climate change."

He's still a nut. There is no catastrophic climate change caused by mankind. Heck, the latest is that global warming stopped in 1998.

[Mount Athos]

You all should give this guy a little break, he pulled out from the group he founded ages ago when they went beyond "save the whales". His conversion isn't new at all
