Nah. He didn't send his Shell Oil "consulting" fees to Nigerians living on 8 watts of power per capita.

...Didn't send his Rio Tinto "consulting" fees to victims of Mercury poisoning.

...He didn't send his Chevron consulting fees to create a dangerous fossil fuel lung cancer victims insurance fund.

He didn't send his Bank of America "consulting" fees to the taxpayers who bailed out his fat buds.

Speaking of bailouts, he didn't bail out his good Buddy from Enron, Jeff Skilling, when Jeff decided to get on the conservation band wagon by trading his estates in Aspen for a small energy efficient cell in the Federal Penitentiary.

And no, Amory didn't take a dime of his money and mail it off from the pig house in Snowmass to reimburse pensioners whose retirement funds were wiped out when the Enron scam broke.

So, you want to know who funds the profitable oil spilling anti-nuke industry?

Let Uncle "nuclear is dead" Amory tell you in his own swilling words:


His other senior advisory relationships have lately served the leaders of Coca-Cola, Deutsche Bank, Holcim, Interface, and Wal-Mart and of several startup firms.

Mr. Lovins’s other clients have included Accenture, Allstate, AMD, Anglo American, Anheuser-Busch, Bank of America, Baxter, Borg-Warner, BP, HP Bulmer, Carrier, Chevron, Ciba-Geigy, CLSA, ConocoPhillips, Corning, Dow, Equitable, GM, HP, Invensys, Lockheed Martin, Mitsubishi, Monsanto, Motorola, Norsk Hydro, Petrobras, Prudential, Rio Tinto, Royal Dutch/Shell, Shearson Lehman Amex, STMicroelectronics, Sun Oil, Suncor, Texas Instruments, UBS, Unilever, Westinghouse, Xerox, major developers, and over 100 energy utilities. His public-sector clients have included the OECD, the UN, and RFF; the Australian, Canadian, Dutch, German, and Italian governments; 13 states; Congress, and the U.S. Energy and Defense Departments.

There are zero anti-nukes who aren't dangerous fossil fuel apologists.

Have a nice oil soaked evening.

1. Imagine if a proponent of nuclear energy had that résumé
A vast clamo(u)r would resound throughout the land, crying:

"C O R P O R A T E   S H I L L ! ! ! ! ! "

2. Ah. You're pro nuke.
You've been so very busy debunking every form of energy I did wonder what would pass muster with you.

Pro-Chernobyl, eh?
