Nuclear Power Introduction
In 1996, former vice president Al Gore said, "Nuclear power, designed well, regulated properly, cared for
meticulously, has a place in the world's energy supply." Ten years or so later, Patrick Moore, a founder of
Greenpeace; Hugh Montefiore, a former board chairman of Friends of the Earth; James Lovelock, author of The Ages
of Gaia; and Stewart Brand, of Whole Earth Catalogue fame, began to echo the observations of Gore and Weinberg.
Major environmental organizations are also taking a fresh look at nuclear power, and so are leading politicians of
both parties. Several countries, including the United States, are planning construction of more nuclear plants...
Taken from the last paragraph of the first chapter of Power to Save the World by Gwyneth Cravens.
