48 Groups Refute President's Claim That Nuclear Energy Is " A Renewable Source of Energy" / クリッピング Common Dreams

” In a short letter sent today to the White House, nearly 50 environmental, business, anti-nuclear, sustainable energy, and energy policy organizations disputed a recent statement by President Bush that nuclear power is a "renewable source of energy."

The groups said simply that nuclear power, and "for that matter, oil, coal, and natural gas," are not renewable sources of energy but instead are "environmentally polluting and non-renewable."

They added that the primary forms of renewable energy are "biofuels, biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar, and wind."　”
