“Like many people in the green movement there are things that I’ve always taken for granted, things which seemed fundamental, things which I accepted as true without really looking into them, things which are widely accepted as core tenets for environmentalists. One of those things was opposing nuclear energy. I don’t think many, if any, Green Party members would choose nuclear energy over wind, solar, tidal, wave and other renewable energy sources. However, we don’t have the luxury of waiting for those. It’s time for us to have a serious, informed discussion about nuclear energy and its place in reducing carbon emissions.”
