Whole Earth Catalog founder Stewart Brand is making a startling prediction about the future of environmentalism.
Over the next ten years, I predict, the mainstream of the environmental movement will reverse its opinion and activism in four major areas: population growth, urbanization, genetically engineered organisms, and nuclear power.Imagine that, a pro-nuke, pro-biotech environmental movement. If it happens, it will be a dramatic change for the better.
Glenn Reynolds adds some thoughts on nuclear power and "going green" here and here. Gristmillers also ponder nuclear power's potential here.
Grist's Dave Roberts has more thoughts on Brand and heresy here and here.
Jonathan, got a cite on the Brand thing?

The link above should be fixed now.

"Now we come to the most profound environmental problem of all, the one that trumps everything: global climate change. Its effect on natural systems and on civilization will be a universal permanent disaster."
