Forbes magazine once described it as “a skillfully managed business” with full command of “the tools of direct mail and image manipulation -- and tactics that would bring instant condemnation if practiced by a for-profit corporation.” [http://www.activistcash.com/organization_overview.cfm/oid/131]

Statement from Jan Beranek, Greenpeace International Nuclear Campaigner on July 16, 2007:
<blockquote>This [[fire]] and [[radioactive leakage]] reminds us yet again of the serious threats posed by nuclear power.... Nuclear power undermines the real solutions to [[Global Warming|climate change]], by diverting [[resource]]s away from the massive development of clean [[renewable energy]] sources the [[world]] urgently needs. <ref> [http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/press/releases/reaction-to-the-fire-at-the-ja Reaction to the fire at the Japanese nuclear power Kashiwazaki-Kariwa]</ref></blockquote>
==Global Warming==

<blockquote>Greenpeace is calling for [[global emissions]] to peak by 2020 and fall rapidly thereafter ensuring at least a 50 percent reduction from 1990 levels by the year 2050 globally, and eliminate [[fossil fuel emissions]] before the end of the [[21st century]]. This platform is outlined in its ‘Global Energy Scenario’ which is available at: http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/press/reports/energy-r-evolution-a-bluepr<ref> [http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/press/releases/global-warming-impacts-hit-poo GLOBAL WARMING IMPACTS HIT POOREST, THE HARDEST AND WILL INCREASE IN SCOPE AND SEVERITY]</ref></blockquote>
