Ex-hippie fuels debate Stewart Brand, a one-time hippie and founder of the Whole Earth Catalog, stirred the pot with his "Environmental Heresies" essay in the May issue of Technology Review magazine.
"The only technology ready to fill the gap and stop carbon dioxide loading of the atmosphere is nuclear power," he wrote.
Energy conservation and renewable energy are "still key" strategies, Brand told MSNBC.com. "The only issue is that it's not really enough." snip Brand's position was partly inspired by other environmentalists who earlier went public in support of nuclear energy. They include Greenpeace cofounder Patrick Moore; James Lovelock, creator of the Gaia hypothesis, which views Earth as a self-regulating organism; and Hugh Montefiore, a former Anglican bishop in Britain who was asked to resign his longtime board seat at Friends of the Earth when he published his position last October. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8120563/
