Anti nuke groups

In 1959, as he was leaving office, Eisenhower spoke to the United Nations and gave the optimistic promise that the world would use the power of the atom bomb to produce inexpensive electric power and he was given an approving ovation by the world body members. Eisenhower plan called Atoms for Peace was to start the world on the road to total nuclear power by the end of the century. Within a few years environmentalist groups like the Sierra Club and Greenpeace began to exagerate the dangers of nuclear power plants and they had friends like Ralph Nader who said that the best form of energy is free and clean and it is the sun. The big oil companies joined in the chorus and this resulted in all out assault on nuclear power which ended Eisenhower's dream. Plants under construction where shut down including one plant in Ohio which was 97% complete and it was turned into a coal plant. 88% of coal fired power plants were built between 1950 and 1990. Popular music groups put on anti nuke concerts and people like Jane Fonda went on 50 city tours to denigrate nuclear power. Did she understand the pollution caused by the mining, processing and disposal of the materials used in wind and solar. Today the founders of Greenpeace admit it was a mistake to disparage nuclear power plants. Did the country learn from this mistake. No they are doing the same thing today with wind and solar.
