Nuclear power is the only energy source where mishap or malice can kill so many people so far away; the only one whose ingredients can help make and hide nuclear bombs; the only climate solution that substitutes proliferation, accident, and high-level radioactive waste dangers. Indeed, nuclear plants are so slow and costly to build that they reduce and retard climate protection.
-- Amery Lovins, widely considered one of the world's leading authority on energy, in an article, "Learning from Japan's Nuclear Disaster."
