Environmental activist turns nuclear advocate
JEFFERSON CITY, MO. -- A former environmental activist said nuclear power is safe, clean, and critical to the nation's energy future.
Dr. Patrick Moore was co-founder and a former director of Greenpeace, an environment watchdog organization with a worldwide profile.
Thursday, Moore told a Jefferson City audience he left Greenpeace 25 years ago.
"I found myself the only international director with a formal education in science,” Moore said. “And I felt it was becoming too sensationalist and political in nature, rather than science-based and logic-based."
