Yet it’s clear that much of the environmental movement—including Greenpeace, the group the author co-founded and helped lead for 15 years—has lost its way, caught up in politically correct ideology and stooping to sensationalism to garner support. There is now a great deal of scientific evidence showing nuclear power to be an environmentally sound and safe choice.</FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><O:P></O:P></FONT></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"> </FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><O:P></O:P></FONT></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">According to the Clean Air Council, annual power plant emissions are responsible for 36 percent of carbon dioxide, 64 percent of sulfur dioxide, 26 percent of nitrogen oxides, and 33 percent of mercury emissions. These four pollutants cause significant environmental impact, including acid rain, smog, respiratory illness, mercury contamination, and are the major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to a renewed push for nuclear power, the author also believes there should be a much greater emphasis on renewable energy production, and argues the four most important renewable energy technologies are hydro-electric power, wind energy, biomass energy and ground-source heat pumps, known as geothermal or GeoExchange.</FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><O:P></O:P></FONT></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"> </FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><O:P></O:P></FONT></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">Learn more about Greenspirit Strategies Ltd. at </FONT><A href="http://www.greenspiritstrategies.com/"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">http://www.greenspiritstrategies.com/</FONT></A><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"> .</FONT></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">Dr. Patrick Moore is an internationally-renowned ecologist and environmentalist.
