The environmental activist group Greenpeace wanted to be prepared to counter President Bush's visit last week to Pennsylvania to promote his nuclear energy policy.
"This volatile and dangerous source of energy" is no answer to the country's energy needs, shouted a Greenpeace fact sheet, decrying the "threat" posed by the reactors Bush visited in Limerick.

"In the twenty years since the Chernobyl tragedy, the world's worst nuclear accident, there have been nearly [FILL IN ALARMIST AND ARMAGEDDONIST FACTOID HERE]," the sheet said.
The Greenpeace spokesman who issued the memo, Steve Smith, told the Web site that a colleague was making a joke in a draft that was then mistakenly released.

EVERYTIME I hear the name Greenpeace, I think of the scene in Armageddon where Bruce Willis was bouncing golf balls off their ship and complaining that he had sent them a check to shut them up. ROTFL! What a bunch of freeloading frauds.

Have you followed the Founder of Greenpeace who change his views...Quote...
Patrick Moore endorses nuclear energy before US Congress
Nuclear energy is the only non-greenhouse gas-emitting power source that can effectively replace fossil fuels and satisfy global demand.
Dr. Patrick Moore, PhD
Statement to Congressional Subcommittee on Nuclear Energy

Caught red-handed.

We need to exclaim this every time they try to weasel out of getting caught lying.

Thanks.
"...no certificate of financial responsibility.
This is probably why they got so upset when the Froggies blew up their other little boat.
