This morning at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., the The Clean and Safe Energy Coalition (CASEnergy Coalition) held a public kickoff of its campaign to educate the American public about the economic, environmental and energy security benefits of the expanded use of nuclear energy.

From the Mission Statement:
The Clean and Safe Energy Coalition (CASEnergy Coalition) supports the increased use of nuclear energy to ensure an environmentally clean, safe, affordable and reliable supply of electricity. Nuclear power enhances America's energy security and economic growth, helps attain cleaner air and improves the quality of life, health and economic well-being for all Americans.CASE is co-chaired by former EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman and Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore. As I'm sure many of you recall, Dr. Moore kicked up quite a fuss about a week ago with his op-ed piece in the Washington Post about expanding the use of nuclear energy.

Comments
The fact that America's "first national grassroots effort to promote nuclear power" as Ms. Todd-Whitman framed CASEnergy, is wholly owned by the Nuclear Energy Institute is transparent in its sophistry.
We look forward to debate with NEI's "nuclear industry in grassroots clothing" at a time and place either of your chosing or by other subsequent means.

The webcast archive of this press conference is entertaining, at best, but about as meaningful and fulfilling as watching pornography.
I dont think I'll waste my time going over it.
The biggest question we've encountered is what's the going rate to be a rent boy for the nuclear industry.
The New York Times reported 04/25/2006 that its query was rebuffed.
And this from the Daily Kos:
"Bluntly put, Patrick Moore is a paid consultant for the mining, logging, biotech and energy industries, and putting him out as "ex-Greenpeace" is a lot like calling Scooter Libby an "ex-Hill staffer."
Patrick, Christy and NEI make quite the threesome.
