Anti-Nuclear Advocates Receive JBL Awards from Tides Foundation

Anti-Nuclear Advocates Receive JBL Awards from Tides Foundation | News Room | Tides: "'As the nation and the world struggle to reduce green house gas emissions in an effort to slow climate change, and to find alternatives to fossil fuel energy sources, nuclear power is back on the table as a viable energy option,' said Drummond Pike, CEO and founder, Tides. 'However, nuclear power remains a dangerous and flawed solution. From the mining of uranium to storage of spent fuel, it creates an unacceptable chain of destruction and risk. Glenn Carroll, Paul Gunter, and Arjun Makhijani are working to halt nuclear energy production and to call attention to its abuses and dangers; and we are so pleased to honor them with the JBL Award.'"
