Most environmentalists’ knee-jerk opposition to nuclear came through the environmentalist movement being infiltrated decades ago by types like Helen Caldicott and nuclear disarmament types. While I concur that abolishing nuclear weapons is a very good thing and I oppose distribution of weapons-grade plutonium, I fear that the anti-nukes crowd’s only “victory” has been the construction of dozens of fossil-fuel plans, strip-mining (coal), drilling (oil and natural gas) and millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of deaths caused by particulate pollution.

Some “victory.”
