Nuclear power where a host of environmentalists oppose it





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

They oppose hydroelectric

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.
Tons of info some very good sites.

Doesn't it seem obvious that we do need to start taking the hard looks at the environment. We just can't let it go. Maybe its not something that has to be done instantly but over the next four years some strides need to be made.
