Ah, it was Patrick Moore, one of the founders of Greenpeace. I guess he's a
biggie.

Now, what does the rest of Greenpeace say?

I think they're pissed. Patrick Moore (co-founder of Greenpeace) was
actually at least the second major Green who came out pro nuke.
Lovelock, originator of the Gaia theory/metaphor was the first. But, he
has despaired of all hope these days, thinks we're passed the tipping
point. Personally, I think we should be doing everything we can -
including nuclear power - to address global warming. I think some
reactor architectures are unacceptable. But, PBMRs are safe enough.
they have the side benefit of exuding heat that can be used to run
de-salinization plants. I also think that FBRs limited to stable states
and only to consume waste, are a decent idea.
