TWO PROMINENT ENVIRONMENTAL FIGURES--FORMER E-P-A ADMINISTRATOR AND NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR, CHRISTINE TODD WHITMAN, AND GREENPEACE CO-FOUNDER AND FORMER LEADER, DOCTOR PATRICK MOORE--HAVE ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WILL CO-CHAIR THE NEWLY LAUNCHED CLEAN AND SAFE ENERGY COALITION--ALSO KNOWN AS THE "CASENERGY ['CASE-ENERGY'] COALITION". BOTH GOVERNOR WHITMAN AND DOCTOR MOORE ARE CALLING ON AMERICANS TO JOIN THEM IN SUPPORTING THE USE OF NUCLEAR ENERGY AS A CLEAN, SAFE, RELIABLE, AND COST-EFFECTIVE WAY TO MEET THE NATION'S ELECTRICITY DEMANDS--WHILE ALSO PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT. ACCORDING TO DOCTOR MOORE, THERE ARE BASICALLY TWO ENVIRONMENTAL SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT AROUND THE FUTURE OF ENERGY PRODUCTION: ONE SCHOOL OF THOUGHT SAYS THAT WE CAN PHASE OUT FOSSIL FUELS AND NUCLEAR ENERGY--AND DO THE WHOLE THING WITH RENEWABLES. ANOTHER SCHOOL OF THOUGHT SAYS THAT--IF WE ARE TO REALISTICALLY PHASE OUT FOSSIL FUELS IN ANY WAY--OR TO CONSIDERABLY REDUCE THEIR CONSUMPTION--THE ONLY PRACTICAL SOLUTION IS A COMBINATION OF RENEWABLES AND NUCLEAR. HE DOES NOT BELIEVE YOU CAN COME UP WITH A PRACTICAL WAY TO REDUCE FOSSIL-FUEL CONSUMPTION FOR ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION, UNLESS NUCLEAR IS PART OF THE MIX--ALONG WITH RENEWABLES.
