Contrary to BHD's "made up opinion", there is environmentalist support for nuclear power. Last year, Hugh Montefiore, a former Anglican bishop and trustee in the UK's Friends of the Earth, resigned his post in the organization when he came out in support for nuclear power by writing "I have now come to the conclusion that the solution to global warming is to make more use of nuclear energy." Greenpeace's co-founder, Patrick Moore, left the organization when he turned pro-nuke. Last December, the National Commission on Energy Policy (with board members from environmental policy groups) issued a report that called for more investment in the nuclear industry. The Union of Concerned Scientist also has a growing pro-nuke faction. While these positions cannot be called "mainstream" . . . there is no solidarity among "tree-huggers" as to the evils of nuclear power.
