Greenpeace Co-Founder Spruiks Benefits Of New Nuclear Power
Washington DC (SPX) Apr 04, 2009 As Wisconsin state lawmakers consider repealing the moratorium on nuclear energy, Dr. Patrick Moore, a Greenpeace co-founder and current Co-Chair of the Clean and Safe Energy Coalition (CASEnergy), addressed a joint committee in the Wisconsin State Legislature. Dr. Moore testified before the Wisconsin Senate Commerce, Utilities, Energy, and Rail Committee and the House Energy and Utilities Committee in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. "It is not only timely, but necessary to discuss repealing the moratorium on building new nuclear power plants in Wisconsin," Dr. Moore told lawmakers. "Nuclear energy is essential to an environmentally sound energy future." He added, "Nuclear is the only source that can power the nation without polluting the nation. The round-the-clock baseload production of nuclear energy can power our homes and businesses while creating high paying jobs that cannot be shipped overseas, all without polluting our air and lungs."
