...occupiers carried their signs with them as they were escorted to the buses during the arrests. The signs said, "Give Breeder Reactors the Pill," "No Nukes is Good Nukes," "Freebrook," and "Atoms for Peace Eventually Go to War." But as the buses pulled out of the site, a new sign appeared in front of the crowd assembled outside: "We Shall Return...
...afraid that the breeder-reactor program is being sacrificed in the expectation that environmentalists will produce less resistance to the mining and burning of coal. But in 20 years, when the sky is noticeably darker from soot created by coal plants, the cancer rate of people living in the cities is rising from breathing the coal wastes and the land is becoming scarred from coast to coast by strip mining, what will our alternatives be then? When President Carter warned that Americans would have to sacrifice, I do not think he meant us, but rather our children...

"We are going to have to make do with what we have," he declared. "There will be no fusion reactor, no breeder reactor, there will be no solar-electric energy, only those fuels currently available will generally be around." Schlesinger candidly explained the Administration's decision to de-emphasize breeder research as a concession to the environmentalists. He defended it as the sort of trade-off necessary in order to organize...
