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

I believe that the average guy in the street will give up a great deal, if he really understands the cost of not giving it up. In fact, we may find that, while we're drastically cutting our energy consumption, we're actually raising our standard of living.

If something's going wrong with this planet we'd better fix it here and not look for some sort of escape.

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.

All technology should be assumed guilty until proven innocent

Even if you build the perfect reactor, you're still saddled with a people problem and an equipment problem.

What we are finding out now is that there are not only limits to growth but also to technology and that we cannot allow technology to go on without public consent.
