Abstract

The chapter seeks to analyze the role of the US environmentalist movement, looking in particular at Mobilization for Survival, a coalition of 49 peace organizations and environmentalist groups, in the discussion aroused on the energy shortage and the potential substitutes for oil, addressing some specific questions. What was, if any, the role of the new environmental awareness in the reduction of energy demand? Why environmentalist activists chose as target nuclear power instead of equally polluting sources of energy like oil and coal?
