Nuclear power where a host of environmentalists oppose it
Quote:
"We remain steadfastly opposed to nuclear power," Sierra Club spokesman Josh Dorner said.
Quote:
Greenpeace USA also says it finds nuclear power unacceptable.
Quote:
"I think there are a lot better carbon-free alternatives for producing electricity," says Christopher Flavin, president of Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research group.
And of course there are a host of others who opposed it, but might be changing their stance. And even more who still oppose it http://www.nirs.org/press/05-17-2001/1

Environmentalists oppose wind farms

Enviros oppose clean coal http://www.mlive.com/business/index....pose_more.html

Whackos oppose solar power

And this is just on energy. Want to touch on some other issues?

Enviros cause death and misery in Africa thanks to their false opposition to DDT

Whackos claim Dow breast implants cause cancer. Results in multi-billion settlement. Scientists later debunk this theory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dow_Corning

Power lines cause cancer, another zapped theory. http://www.quackwatch.org/01Quackery...opics/emf.html

And this is just the "sane" ones. It doesn't include the crazies who go around bombing construction sites and lighting farms on fire.

Yep, other than the above Farmer is right on target! I guess it's just easier to drink the kool aid than actually be informed.
