 Dear Bruno, Thank you so much for the excellent article that you sent me.  In return, I'm pleased to attach the paper that I contributed to this year's (25th) annual conference of the Canadian Nuclear Society. Best wishes for an enjoyable summer. Yours truly, Jerry

 Green Opposition to Nuclear Energy was a Historical Mistake

Environmentalists now consider nuclear energy as clean

by Bruno Comby

As a dedicated environmentalist, I consider it paradoxical to see some environmental groups opposed to nuclear energy. Green opposition to nuclear power plants is in fact a major historical mistake. Their announced concerns are for health, safety, and the protection of nature. In these respects nuclear power is by far superior to the alternatives - burning fossil fuels (coal, petroleum and gas) which pollute the atmosphere, wind turbines or the use of solar photovoltaic cells for the production of electricity, and biomass (growing crops to be burned and burning crop residues) which alter the landscape and produce only minute amounts of energy.
