I sort of kept my hand in writing and went to work for the Sierra Club in '52, walked the plank there in '69, founded Friends of the Earth and the League of Conservation Voters after that.

I began working with the John Muir Institute and then started helping found Friends of the Earth organizations here and there in other countries. That pretty well brings us up to the present.

Me

A great deal of pressure was then built up to remove me from the club and my resignation was, finally, a forced one.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

The Sierra Club is a very good and a very powerful force for conservation and, as a matter of fact, has grown faster since I left than it was growing while I was there! It must be doing something right.

Love

Nov 07, 2020

Until four years ago, in fact, I was absolutely in love with the atom.

Dam
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was actually telling people that - by harnessing the atom - we could enter a new era of unlimited power that would do away with the need to dam our beautiful streams.

Energy

Nov 07, 2020

At that time a senator who was on the Joint Committee of Atomic Energy said rather quietly, 'You know, we're having a little problem with waste these days.' I didn't know what he meant then, but I know now.

Garbage
|
Nov 07, 2020

There is no place where we can safely store worn-out reactors or their garbage. No place!

Open
|
Nov 07, 2020

We tried burying the waste at sea and the concrete cannisters that held it cracked open.

Rock
|
Nov 07, 2020

We've pumped waste into cavities in solid rock and found that it spread through the rock.

Drifting
|
Nov 07, 2020

Some otherwise sane scientists have seriously proposed that we tuck this deadly garbage under the edges of drifting continents but how can they be sure the moving land masses will climb over the waste and not just push it forward?

Nov 07, 2020

Yet another proposal would have us rocket the waste into the sun, but, as you're probably aware, about one in ten of our space shots doesn't quite make it out of the earth's gravitational field.

Moon
|
Nov 07, 2020

Apollo 13, as you may remember, gave us a reactor that is bubbling away right now somewhere in the Pacific. It's supposed to be bubbling away on the moon, but it's in the Pacific Ocean instead.

Perhaps most ridiculous of all is the suggestion that we 'keep' our radioactive garbage for the use of our descendants. This 'solution', I think, requires an immediate poll of the next 20,000 generations.

Energy
|
Nov 07, 2020

Is the minor convenience of allowing the present generation the luxury of doubling its energy consumption every 10 years worth the major hazard of exposing the next 20,000 generations to this lethal waste?

Different Kinds
|
Nov 07, 2020

There are many different kinds of radioactive waste and each has its own half-life so, just to be on the safe side and to simplify matters, I base my calculations on the worst one and that's plutonium.
