The Greens' Nuclear Identity Crisis

The Greens' Nuclear Identity Crisis

Three and a half decades ago, California's most prominent greens were getting arrested by the hundreds trying to prevent the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant from even opening. Now, in the name of climate change, some of the state's highest-profile environmentalists are campaigning to keep that same plant from closing.

only because they were driven by emotion then, and are driven by emotion now,...

I shed not one tear for them in their emotional distress through the decades,...

those who refuse to grow up, those who prefer to chase dreams of perpetual infantile gratification;

they deserve all the emotional distress they inflict on themselves,...

Son of a Gun!

I was a 'green' when I entered the Nuclear Field (1964) and still am!  I guess I saw what others didn't see back then.  But, I guess I was not forceful enough to sway folks that thought nuclear was not 'green'!  (But, then we didn't have computers or communication sites)!

I recycle on all levels selected locally, sometimes have to pick through the trash that my wife puts in.

'Green', is one thing, 'anti' is another!  If you've ever been around a wind site, while the production is 'green', the local effects are black!  That's why the residential restriction is so great (and why a 'wind' site has to be so big, i.e., take up so much area)! 

"Green" is how you perceive it!
