TORONTO, Sept. 17 /CNW/ -Who: Dr. Patrick Moore, environmentalist, Greenpeace co-founder and
now Chairman and Chief Scientist of the environmental
consulting firm Greenspirit Strategies Ltd. based in Vancouver.
What: Dr. Moore will host a lively and engaging debate arguing that,
much of the environmental movement, including Greenpeace, has
lost its way when it comes to nuclear power, caught up in
politically correct ideology and stooping to sensationalism to
garner support. Dr. Moore says that today's scientific evidence
supports nuclear power as an environmentally sound and safe
choice for energy consumers around the globe. And, nuclear
energy is the only non-greenhouse-gas-emitting power source
that can effectively replace fossil fuels and satisfy global
energy demand.
When: Monday, September 17, 2007
12:00 p.m.
Where: The Canadian Club of Toronto
Fairmont Royal York Hotel - Main Mezzanine floor, Imperial Room
100 Front St. W., Toronto
Why: Ontario and the world are looking at nuclear technology to play
a key role in providing future base load electrical supply, in
reducing GGC emissions and improving air quality. In Ontario,
CANDU nuclear energy is the greatest single contributor to
carbon reduction relative to all other energy producing
technologies. If Ontario is serious about reducing CO2
emissions while meeting its increasing energy needs, it must
continue to support clean, safe and reliable nuclear power
combined with hydro, wind and geothermal energy sources.
