What People Are Saying About Nuclear Power ~ President George W. Bush "The first essential step toward greater energy independence is to apply technology to increase domestic production from existing energy resources. And one of the most promising sources of energy is nuclear power. Today's technology has made nuclear power safer, cleaner, and more efficient than ever before. Nuclear power is now providing about 20 percent of America's electricity, with no air pollution or greenhouse gas emissions. Nuclear power is one of the safest, cleanest sources of power in the world, and we need more of it here in America." National Small Business Conference, Washington, D.C. April 27, 2005 ~ Prudential Equity Group, LLC "We see a convergence of powerful economic and political force.... that should lead to a renaissance of nuclear power. The momentum for new nuclear construction has been building quietly over several years, sustained not only by the industry but also by federal officials who believe strongly in the future of nuclear power as an emission-free and secure source of electricity. Nuclear has an increasingly strong case to make." "Back On Line: U.S. Nuclear Power Generation Set For Resurgence" January 2005 ~ Massachusetts Institute of Technology "Over the next 50 years, unless patterns change dramatically, energy production and use will contribute to global warming through large-scale greenhouse gas emission.... Nuclear power could be one option for reducing carbon emissions." "The Future of Nuclear Power" 2003 ~ BusinessWeek "With a barrel of crude hitting a record $55 on Oct. 25, more Americans are coming to see nuclear energy as a cost effective and environmentally acceptable alternative to fossil fuels, which could boost national security by reducing dependence on Middle East oil." "With Oil Over $50, Nukes Are Back" Nov. 8, 2004. ~ James Lovelock, leading environmentalist, creator of the Gaia theory "By all means, let us use the small input from renewables sensibly, but only one immediately available source does not cause global warming, and that is nuclear energy.... Nuclear energy from its start in 1952 has proved to be the safest of all energy source.... We have no time to experiment with visionary energy sources; civilization is in imminent danger and has to use nuclear—the one safe, available, energy source—now or suffer the pain soon to be inflicted by our outraged planet." "Nuclear Power is the Only Green Solution" The Independent (UK) May 24, 2004 ~ Patrick Moore, leading ecologist and environmentalist, founder of Greenpeace, Chair and Chief Scientist of Greenspirit "By the mid-1980s.... I became aware of the emerging concept of sustainable development: balancing environmental, social and economic priorities.... Since then, I have worked under the banner of Greenspirit to develop an environmental policy platform based on science, logic, and the recognition that more than six billion people need to survive and prosper every day of the year.... Renewable energies, such as wind, geothermal and hydro are part of the solution. Nuclear energy is the only nongreenhouse gas-emitting power source that can effectively replace fossil fuels and satisfy global demand."
