What brings together a former director of Greenpeace [3] and the Republican ex-director of the Environmental Protection Agency [4]? Answer: PR firm billings and promoting a new public radiance for the nuclear power industry. Christine Todd Whitman [5], the first EPA director under President George W. Bush [6], and Patrick Moore [7], who was "on the boat" at Greenpeace's famous founding float to protest nuclear weapons, now boast their own PR firms and a common interest in "grass roots" advocacy for nuclear power. Look for the new nuclear astroturf [8] group, the "Clean and Safe Energy Coalition" in a PR spot near you. All financing for the group, which currently has 58 companies and 10 individual members, comes from the Nuclear Energy Institute [9], which represents reactor operators [10]. The announcement coincided with a report [11] (PDF) by Greenpeace (which Moore departed in 1986) which describes "near misses" worldwide since the Chernobyl explosion in the Soviet Union twenty years ago.
