Nuclear Greenwashing

Professional Greenpeace [1] turncoat Patrick Moore [2] is going around with a slide show that "isn't as slick as Al Gore [3]'s," writes Amanda Witherell, promoting nuclear power [4] as a safe, clean, reliable and emissions-free solution to global warming [5]. Witherell discusses the role that the Nuclear Energy Institute [6] and PR firm Hill and Knowlton [7] have played in creating Moore's "Clean and Safe Energy Coalition [8]" and takes a critical look at some of the factoids in his presentation, such as his claim that nuclear power plants could withstand a direct hit from a jetliner without breaching radioactive contamination.
