 "And the consequences of human error in a nuclear power station, a chemical plant, or a tanker full of crude oil are familiar to us all.
Nor do fatigued and tense people always make the best decisions. More often than not, stress makes us feel more vulnerable, more in need of defending our own interests, more caught up in our ego-mind.
A Disease of the Future
The problem of stress is not likely to go away. As the pace of change continues to increase, the demands on us will also increase."- Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "The age of the microchip, rock 'n' roll, nuclear power, moon walks, global warming, and the Internet is a layer almost too thin to measure. One thing is clear: Wherever we are going, we are going there faster and faster. But where are we going? What does the future hold in store? The Quickening of Spirit If the pace of development continues to increase—and we shall see shortly that there is every reason to believe it will—then the amount of change that we have seen in the last twenty years will be compressed into the next ten years, or less, and after that into an even shorter time." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) |
 "As a result, about 80 nuclear power plants and 19 nuclear weapons facilities dot the country, putting the life and welfare of every citizen at risk.
Since the partial meltdown at Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in March 1979, nuclear power has been on its way out in the United States. Though a few more nuclear power plants may begin operating each year for several more years, and such controversial plants as Seabrook (in New Hampshire) may even come on line, the pipeline is nearly empty."- Linda Mason Hunter, The Healthy Home: An Attic-to-Basement Guide to Toxin-Free Living (Get the book.) |
 "Federal Reserve Bank in Boston in March 1981, as the stockholders of the First National Bank of Boston (a major investor in nuclear power) met inside:
As nuclear power protesters, we wanted to do street theater that would remind people of a 1930s-style soup kitchen, to highlight the waste of valuable resources on capital-intensive projects such as nuclear power while many people in this country went hungry and homeless. At first, we thought we would have actors play the homeless, but then we realized we could get people who actually were homeless to participate... ."- Sandor Ellix Katz, The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved (Get the book.) |
 "Since 1945 every human has been repeatedly dusted with radioactive fallout from both acknowledged and unacknowledged nuclear explosions, nuclear power plant disasters, and, most insidious of all, the steady release of radioactive Iodine-131 from all nuclear weapons facilities and all nuclear power plants. The government-sponsored nuclear industry has released experimental quantities of radioactive iodine, cesium, and strontium into the atmosphere. Continual exposure to this incidental 1-131 maybe the origin of most current thyroid disorders."- Michael Friedman, ND, Fundamentals of Naturopathic Endocrinology (Get the book.) |
 "In fact, after the disaster at the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl, Russia, sea buckthorn oil was used to treat the burns of people exposed to the leaked radiation. Sea buckthorn can also be used to prevent sunburn and radiation burns; Russian cosmonauts, for example, have used this herb to protect their skin against radiation burns when in outer space.
Sea buckthorn is also sometimes added to hair products to prevent baldness and stimulate hair growth."- Brigitte Mars, A.H.G., The Desktop Guide to Herbal Medicine: The Ultimate Multidisciplinary Reference to the Amazing Realm of Healing Plants, in a Quick-study, One-stop Guide (Get the book.) |
 "But what else is there?' said Bill.
Hal ticked off a litany of current possibilities. There was photovoltaics (using solar cells), or fuel cells, or water batteries (an attempt to convert the hydrogen from water into electricity in the cell). There was wind, or waste products, or even methane. But none of these, even the more exotic among them, were turning out to be robust or realistic.
Bill and Hal agreed that what was really needed was an entirely new source: a cheap, endless, perhaps as yet undiscovered, supply of energy."- Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) |
 "Companies receiving more than 2 percent of their revenues from military weapons, or receiving any revenues from the production of tobacco or alcohol, or any revenues from gambling products or services were eliminated, as were companies that own, operate, or design nuclear power.
Once a company has made the Index, Domini reserves the right to remove it if it violates any of their exclusionary standards or fails to meet their qualitative standards.37 www.domini."- David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "Interestingly, although nuclear power presents environmental problems due to toxic waste?think spent fuel rods—that stays highly radioactive for hundreds of thousands of years, the plants themselves make no contribution to global warming; nonetheless, I have to admit, I don't often take the family to the beach at San Onofre, site of one of SCE's two nuclear facilities, and I put the pedal to the metal a little faster when I am driving through the Buckeye Valley of Arizona and passing by the company's other nuclear generating station, the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, in Wintersburg." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "Think of what environmental destabilization will precipitate within the global context in terms of warring over oil resources, as well as proliferating nuclear arms fueled by increasing global use of nuclear power; it's easy to see why some preventive health measures now for our future national security should pay off handsomely." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) |
 "This is because of the risks of nuclear power plant accidents, not from some outside military threat. The United States has the largest number of nuclear power plants in the world, over
100, and dozens of these reactors are at a high risk for leaks and/or accidents. Other risks include accidents during the transport of nuclear wastes. Currently, all nuclear power plants leak radiation, negatively affecting at a minimum anyone living within a 20 mile radius of the plant."- Dr. Cass Ingram, Dr. Cass Ingram's Lifesaving Cures (Get the book.) |
| "Since the partial meltdown at Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in March 1979, nuclear power has been on its way out in the United States. Though a few more nuclear power plants may begin operating each year for several more years, and such controversial plants as Seabrook (in New Hampshire) may even come on line, the pipeline is nearly empty. All plants under construction were ordered before 1974, and no utility has plans to order another for as far into the future as we can see. Some of the oldest nuclear plants are now being retired." - Linda Mason Hunter, The Healthy Home: An Attic-to-Basement Guide to Toxin-Free Living (Get the book.) |

 "In fact, some recent wind projects are cranking out electricity that is priced competitively with coal and oil, and far cheaper than nuclear power, with none of the radioactivity or greenhouse-gas pollution.
The Battelle Pacific Northwest National Laboratory estimates that as wind power's price drops to a competitive level, wind could quickly supply 20 percent of the nation's electricity."- Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) |
 "There are many sources of ionizing radiation, including the sun, X-rays, radiotherapy, and leaks at nuclear power plants. Radioprotective properties of adaptogens include the ability to protect the DNA of the body from the dangerous, mutating power of various forms of radiation. Free radical scavenging and antioxidant activity is the likely mechanism involved in this radioprotective effect.
By causing oxidative damage in the DNA, free radicals can produce mutations that, over time, can lead to cancer."- David Winston, RH(AHG), and Steven Maimes, Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief (Get the book.) |
| "Just as unfair subsidies for oil, coal, and nuclear power make it harder for more recent renewable resources like wind, solar, and hydro to compete, subsidies for sprawl work to undermine the creation of bright green cities. The answer, Orfield shows, is new civic coalitions of older cities, older suburbs, reform groups, religious communities, advocates for working people, and competitiveness-minded business leaders. As former Albuquerque mayor David Rusk explains in the introduction, "The existence of the 'favored quarter' also means the existence of the unfavored three-quarters." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) |

 "A recent international summit on breast cancer and the environment outlined the need for more research to be conducted into the effects of exposure in the vicinity of nuclear power plants or chemical landfill sites and, more generally, into contaminants in food, air, water and soil." [Hormone Research 60 Suppl 3:50, 2003] But none of this makes any sense. As explained earlier in this chapter, the predominant factor in breast cancer is age, not exposure to carcinogens."- Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.) |
| "This is potentially the most dangerous technology since nuclear power, yet we have no way of finding out what is being done."5
In 1994, the Flavr Savr* tomato (engineered to resist rotting) was the first genetically modified food reviewed and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for human consumption. FDA-employed scientists warned that altered products such as the Flavr Savr® could create toxins in food and trigger allergies. Shockingly, the FDA approved the "Frankenstein" tomato anyway with claims, "..." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.) |
| "Nations seek nuclear power as a hedge against fossil fuels, and nuclear weapons proliferate. These skirmishes place increasing stress upon the world, with less-resilient developing nations reacting most acutely, since their economic systems haven't the capacity to absorb change.
Each of these local disasters could be handled, but the cumulative effect on the global community could plunge the United States into an environmental abyss fueled by declining resources, including oil. According to the Pentagon report, here's what to expect:

 "My uncle, an Academy Award-winning cin-ematographer, sat me down and told me about nuclear power, something that I had never heard of before. I was horrified. I couldn't believe that we as a species were creating waste from nuclear power plants that had a half-life of hundreds of thousands of years. I also couldn't believe that our tax dollars were being put to such use. I was absolutely appalled. When I started working in the movies at the age of eleven, I got my first paycheck."- APC Books, Healing Our Planet, Healing Our Selves: The Power of change Within to Change the World (Get the book.) |
 "This can be a consequence of some types of cancer treatment or events such as nuclear power plant accidents.
Radioactive elements are structurally similar to their nonradioactive counterparts, differing only in the number of neutrons the atoms contain. This is why nutrition is important in preventing or blocking damage from exposure to radioactive elements. If you do not obtain sufficient amounts of calcium, potassium, and other minerals in your diet, your body may absorb radioactive elements that are similar in structure to these nutrients."- Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.) |
 "Electricity, even nuclear power can be turned off. GM is the first irreversible technology in human history. When a GMO is released it is out of our control; we have no means to call it back. We can insert a transgene, but we cannot take the released transgene out. Since GMOs are self-replicating, releasing them might have dire consequences for human and animal health and for the environment and can change evolution."- Jeffrey M. Smith, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (Get the book.) |
 "The Trans-Siberian Railway suffers extensive subsidence along its track, with changes even endangering a nuclear power plant at Bilibino. All around the Arctic Ocean, increased erosion from storms and rising sea levels destroys shoreline villages and settlements.
Arctic ecosystems find themselves in a state of advanced dislocation. Unexpected fires and insect attacks wipe out forests far to the north of the Arctic Circle."- Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.) |
 "The dangers of nuclear power sources are replaced with enhanced technologies in solar, wind, geothermal and other sources. With less demand for fossil fuels, oil drilling is no longer a scar upon the land or a source of pollution. Mining interests also come to agreement with government and citizens groups on ways to conduct their businesses without destroying the environment or disrupting the ecosystem. Mankind, learning that there is also a limited supply of metals, has developed alternative non-polluting materials and established an effective recycling system for existing used metals."- Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.) |
| "Probably the most controversial is nuclear power, which raises dangers of nuclear weapons proliferation and deadly accidents, as well as the still unsolved question of what to do with highly radioactive wastes. Carbon capture and storage is an unproven technology which could result in unexpected releases of C02 from faulty or leaky reservoirs below ground, although the IPCC ranks this risk as very low.29 Pouring investment into quadrupling the numbers of gas-fuelled power stations to achieve a wedge would be unwise if gas supplies are close to peaking." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.) |
| "I couldn't believe that we as a species were creating waste from nuclear power plants that had a half-life of hundreds of thousands of years. I also couldn't believe that our tax dollars were being put to such use. I was absolutely appalled. When I started working in the movies at the age of eleven, I got my first paycheck. I immediately went into my dad's office and told him that I refused to pay part of it in taxes because I didn't want the money going toward war or toward nuclear power. My dad responded that I would go to jail for that belief, and I said, "That's okay." - APC Books, Healing Our Planet, Healing Our Selves: The Power of change Within to Change the World (Get the book.) |
| "In the UK, the scientist James Lovelock is at least consistent; though he fulminates against wind turbines, he is a passionate advocate of nuclear power.
With each side offering its miracle energy cure, the public is left with a false impression - that we simply have to choose one of the touted solutions and the problem will be solved. The reality is that only a combination of serious energy efficiency and a wide variety of new technologies offer any hope of a way out of the crisis." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.) |
