Greenpeace

Greenpeace is an organization founded in 1970 to promote a cleaner earth. It had the best of intentions using only private money and many volunteers. They were concerned about the climate long before it became popular in areas like deforestation and plastic pollution but their biggest success was their biggest mistake. They opposed nuclear energy and thus were instrumental in shutting down the nuclear energy program in the US. Their plan was to replace fossil fuels with wind and solar and to this day they will not accept nuclear power. The new green deal people are following the same path. Just like Greenpeace they do not consider the damage done to the people and the environment caused by the mining, processing and disposing of the materials needed to make wind and solar work. They also never take into account that wind and solar need back up and miles of transmission lines. Many in the new green deal are more interested in social justice than climate change and so they can ignore the problems associated with wind and solar. Regardless of what these people think the world is slowly discovering that nuclear power is the only realistic answer to climate change. It is their misguided belief that has delayed the nuclear solution.
