They Were Wrong?

Stunning… a founder of Greenpeace finally admits they were misguided on nuclear energy… and boy are we are paying for the group’s propaganda.
Imagine if we had embraced nuclear power in the 70-80s… like France, who hasn’t really ever laid down to Greenpeace.
Dr. Patrick Moore, a founding member of Greenpeace, now promotes nuclear energy in the latest edition of ElectricTV.net.
Dr. Moore, now chairman and chief scientist of the Vancouver-based consultancy Green Spirit Strategies, says the protest against nuclear energy that began in the 1970s was “so focused on nuclear weapons and nuclear war that we lumped all things nuclear in the same category as being evil. We made the mistake of not recognizing that nuclear energy was a beneficial use, that it was a clean energy source that does not produce greenhouse gas and air pollution like the fossil fuels do.”
Keep in mind that Green Spirit Strategies ” manages the environmental reputation of leading global industries by engaging government, academic, environmental and social agencies. We’ve participated in every stage of campaign planning and execution, from research to implementation to evaluation”.
Wonder what else they’ll be coming clean with in the next few years…
