Re: Greenpeace - Are they pro-nuke and don't know it?

An interesting thing about environmental groups is that any 
alternative is better than what they are currently opposing.  In an 
interview during the early to mid 70's David Brower, former head of 
the Sierra club was fighting damns along the Colorado river.  When 
asked what the growing region should use for power he replied, 
Nuclear because it emits nothing during operation is fairly safe and 
does not have as much impact on the environment.  Well nuclear is all 
but dead in this country so now the environmentalists are moving on 
to other power sources.  Perhaps this would be a good time to buy 
stock in lamp oil, lantern, and candle companies.
