The folks over at NEINuclearNotes<\/a> like to throw out Dr. Patrick Moore, a co-founder of Greenpeace, as one of their “environmental converts” to nuclear energy. Turns out the current head of Greenpeace Gerd Leipold isn’t buying Dr. Moore’s schtick, though,<\/a> as demonstrated in a speech in Australia. Leipold also mentioned something that tends to get lost in the current debate: <\/p>\n

“If Australia had the energy efficiency that Japan has, we wouldn’t even be talking about nuclear energy,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Our research shows that every $1 spent on energy efficiency is seven times more effective in cutting carbon than nuclear power.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The more I research, the more I conclude also that Dr. Moore has gone over to the Dark Side. Here’s SourceWatch’s profile of him<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Tim at The Future is Green has posted some interesting information on “peak uranium.”<\/a><\/p>\n
