Revealing quotes by environmentalists

"If you ask me, it'd be a little short of disastrous for
us to discover a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy
because of what we would do with it.  We ought to be looking
fo energy sources that are adequate for our needs, but that won't
give us the excesses of concentrated energy with which we could
do mischief to the earth or to each other."
- Amory Lovins in %2The Mother Earth%1 - Plowboy Interview, Nov/Dec 1977, p. 22

"...Giving society cheap, abundant energy ... would be the equivalent
of giving an idiot child a machine gun."  Paul Ehrlich, %2An Ecologist's
Perspective on Nuclear Power%1, May/June 1975 issue of
Federation of American Scientists Public Issue Report

"We can and should seize upon the energy crisis as a good excuse and
great opportunity for making some very fundamental changes that we
should be making anyhow for other reasons." - Russell Train,
%2Science%1 184 p. 1050, 7 June 1974
