Good Nuclear In, Bad Nuclear Out -- Cause for Celebration on 40th Earth Day

Earth Day 2010 marks significant "nuclear achievements"
Patrick Moore, a co-founder of Greenpeace, writes that the 40th anniversary of Earth Day coincides with a period of remarkable progress toward clean nuclear energy and world peace. "In simple terms, every nuclear plant can be viewed as two fewer large coal-fired generators. That makes for large reductions in air pollution and greenhouse-gas emissions," he writes. "I hope people recognize that we are moving in a positive direction by encouraging the peaceful use of nuclear technology and working to reduce the threat of nuclear war and nuclear terrorism. These twin accomplishments make 2010 the most significant year in decades of nuclear achievements." The Huffington Post
