Thanks! I knew about Joanna Macy's anti-nuclear work that led to her Work that Reconnects, but not Caldicott. I love her energy and drive, it's wonderfully infectious.
That's exactly the word - infectious - precisely how I felt after speaking with her. I mistakenly didn't mention it here but she was also a founding President of Physicians for Social Responsibility whose umbrella organization, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, went on to win the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize.https://www.helencaldicott.com/put-on-your-pearls-and-pummel-em/
She “infecting” thousands with blatantly false analysis of Energy and the environment. That’s a serious infection that could well kill all life on earth and has in 5 previous global warming events on earth. Many times I’ve seen her challenged to prove her claims. Each time she can’t. She’s like watching Fox News for current events.
People like Calecott are stopping use of energy from the nucleus of the atom that real scientists like James Hansen and James Lovelock(UK initiated Gaia hypothesis) both say is our ONLY hope to turn back global warming. In truth, Caldecott is one of our worst anti environmentalists.
Caldecott is a person with no scientific evidence babbling on for decades to instill fear of the energy source that could save us - non emitting, highly safe atomic energy. Reactors are known for super safe operation since they started in the 50’s and 60’s. They make electricity for 2-3 cents per Kilowatt hr and utilities sell much higher. We’re finding reactors with parts replacement may last 100 years. That lowers overall cost even more. Notice anti nukes have only one accident to prattle on about - Chernobyl. UN says 150 died, mostly firefighters & clean up crew. Both were inadequately protected with safety equipment. Anti nukes will claim thousands of deaths across but they have no reliable data. Meanwhile coal, gasoline, natural gas, oil kill millions by pollution & accidents. On pollution see American Lung Association reports. Nuclear is gaining a foothold in countries like China where reactors are being built as fast as possible. China has no big oil & gas companies to create (fund) the kind of drivel Calecott spouts or Sierra Club caught taking a secret $26 million pay off from Chesapeake Energy in 2012 by Time Magazine. Big Oil & Gas were probably behind the hyped “Chernobyl” exaggerated fear series on HBO. Koch brothers funded a PBS NATURE program that showed no harm to wildlife in Chernobyl area, but it was “mission accomplished” when Kochs got program title “Radioactive Wolves of Chernobyl” seen by many millions in program ads everywhere. Such propaganda should be against the law.

Woloege- is your post funded by someone?! It is polemical, runs off on tangents, inaccurate and completely ignoring that her campaign was against nuclear weapons! Reads like propoganda, because regular people don’t tend to miss the big picture.
