Perhaps there's hope for the moonbats yet.

May I propose dumping the waste material for all the new nuclear power plants in her backyard?

hope for the moonbats

No hope--they have created the cult of "global warming" which has spread its wacko meme into every elementary, secondary school and college and into every corner of the federal, state, and local government as well as the wannabe world government (aka the un).

As to the new position on nuclear power--even a broken clock gets the time right twice a day. :-)

My optimistic side reads this and thinks, "Perhaps the environmentalists are becoming a bit more pragmatic."

But then, my realistic side kicks in and says, "They're only taking this position so that they can support Iran's 'right' to a 'peaceful' nuclear program."

I read somewhere that the founder of Greenpeace left the group because it became to radical and anti-capitalist. He was a tree-hugging nutjob but not completely off the deep end, IIRC.

It's about time the simpletons realize there are no easy answers. There are just some answers that make more sense than others. Enriching middle eastern tyrants and allowing them to cripple domestic petroleum production has proven to be far more dangerous than addressing the technical challenges of nuclear energy. Now if they'd just stop the fearmongering over global warming... no chance they have to continue to raise money some way.

In the early 1970s when I helped found Greenpeace, I believed that nuclear energy was synonymous with nuclear holocaust, as did most of my compatriots.

Sadly, it is too late to undo the damage his ignorance has done to the world and the environment.

Maybe this guy has realized that no one will accept living in cold, shivering caves wearing only animal skins in order to save his precious Gaia. They'll burn every stick of every tree on the planet, and lynch him from the last standing one before they cut it down, in order to avoid living that way. Maybe a few of these guys have finally gotten smart.

I doubt it, however, I think it was Winston Churchill that said: "If you're not a Liberal by the time you are twenty, you don't have a heart. If you're not a Conservative by the time you're forty, you don't have a brain"

OK, we're all on board. Now, let's do it.

nuclear energy may just be the energy source that can save our planet

Yet when rational people tried to tell him exactly that 20 years ago, he could do nothing but shout tired slogans and insult their intelligence.

I guess that wising up eventually is better than dying stupid, but it's also too little too late.

This guy isn't a moonbat, he and Greenpeace really parted ways. Greenpeace would rather have us burning dung in fire pits than have any type of Nuclear energy.

Thanks for posting.
Friends had told me they'd heard some of the enviro-extremists were starting
to relent on their jihad against nuclear power.
You'd think they'd come around earlier seeing how the French are so
committed to nuclear.

Even some of the most entrenched environmentalists have reversed their position on nuclear energy. "My views have changed," wrote Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore in conjunction with Earth Day last week, "and the rest of the environmental movement needs to update its views, too, because nuclear energy may just be the energy source that can save our planet... Every responsible environmentalist should support a move in that direction."

Sir......you are all of them!
