...Gofman's chief strength is his ability to penetrate to the core of an issue through barriers of scientific and judicial jargon. He points out that concentration on the dilemma of waste disposal distracts the public's attention from the equally insoluble and more immediate problem of radiation leakage throughout the nuclear fuel cycle, from mine to mill to reactor. He assails an emphasis on energy conservation through onerous consumer restraint. He says far larger gains are possible from introduction of energy-efficient design to construction and industry. And he prints the straightforward formula linking rems and death that...
...established in New England. When Seabrook was proposed a decade ago, planners projected a continuing increase in New England electricity demand, a growth that has since levelled off, making Seabrook unnecessary. Use of already existing excess electric generating capacity, and the reactivation of currently out-of-service hydroelectric plants throughout New England would supply more energy cheaper than the Seabrook nukes ever could. But if Seabrook is built, it will pick up whatever excess energy needs New England may develop over the next few years, and the utilities will be able to argue against increased use of solar and other...
...back when the general public was relatively unaware of the dangers of nuclear power, the Clamshell Alliance formed as a loose coalition of grass-roots antinuclear groups throughout New England, united in calling for an end to the Seabrook plant and the shutdown of nuclear plants in New England and across the nation. Sharing a common perception that the nuclear regulatory process had become a farce, Clamshell concluded that only direct citizen action could stop nuclear power...
Since then, Clamshell and other groups have held numerous demonstrations and alternative energy fairs throughout New England, as well as committing civil disobedience at the Seabrook site. The continuous educational work we have been doing on nuclear power and alternative sources of energy has raised the issue into public prominence...
...miracle that follows. Simple peasants in turn-of-the-century Italy harvest corn accompanied by a wildly triumphant organ, Bach at his exultant best. Each frame of the film could have been the master work of a Rembrant. The combination brought my emotions to my throat where, throughout the rest of the film, they threatened to burst forth like rainbows and flowers from the top hat of a Peter Max figure. And I'm not kidding...
