Environmentalists shift on nuclear power
Washington, DC, May. 15 (UPI) -- Some prominent U.S.
environmentalists say nuclear power should be reconsidered as a
remedy for global warming, the New York Times reported Sunday.
Stewart Brand, a founder of the Whole Earth Catalog and the author
of "Environmental Heresies," an article in the May issue of
Technology Review, said environmentalists are changing their
attitudes towards nuclear power because of the growing anxiety about
fossil fuels and global warming.
"It's not that something new and important and good has happened with
nuclear, it's that something new and important and bad has happened
with climate change," Brand said in an interview.
Other environmental experts -- including Fred Krupp, the executive
director of Environmental Defense; Jonathan Lash, the president of
the World Resources Institute; and James Gustave Speth, the dean of
Yale's School of Forestry and Environmental Studies -- have stopped
short of openly endorsing nuclear power, but they have said it should
not be outright rejected.
The environmentalists say solutions should to be developed for the
economic, safety and security, waste storage and proliferation issues.
