President George W. Bush
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, you were quoted as
saying that nuclear power "is a renewable source of energy."
Please be advised that nuclear power is not a renewable source of energy.
For that matter, oil, coal, and natural gas are also not renewable sources
of energy.
Nuclear power and fossil fuels are environmentally polluting and
non-renewable sources of energy.
The primary renewable sources of energy are biofuels, biomass, geothermal,
hydropower, solar, and wind.
Sincerely,
