Today’s Anti-Nuclear Quote of the Day is a collection.
“From the point of view of the privilege-elite, the only choice which makes sense is to opt for the energy approach which absolutely guarantees complete dependence on a central source. That is the explanation for the miraculous romance between our energy-planners and electricity.”
“Never mind that there is no reason which makes sense for using electricity for more than about 10% of our end-uses of energy.”
“If you go one step farther, after deciding that doing just about everything electrically is an excellent guarantee that everyone pays his tithe, the next step is to ensure that electricity-generation has to be forever centralized SECURELY. Nuclear power came along “in the nick of time” (to borrow nuclear salesman Glenn Seaborg’s catchiest line) to solve that problem.”
-Dr. John Gofman, pp.70-71 of Irrevy: An Irreverent, Illustrated View of Nuclear Power.
Translation: nuclear power is the only way to generate large amounts of electricity, and since electricity is evil, we should get rid of nuclear power.
This is the motivation of the anti-nuclear movement.
