Stephen Tindale

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stephen Tindale was the Executive Director of Greenpeace in the United Kingdom until 2005.^[1] He is the co-founder of the organisation Climate Answers, and Associate Fellow at the Centre for European Reform.

Career

Tindale is noted for his recent U-turn on nuclear power. Along with three other persons who have been involved with the environmental movement, Chris Smith, Mark Lynas and Chris Goodall, he is now lobbying in favour of nuclear power. He considers that the need to overcome the dangers of rising carbon emissions and subsequent global warming requires a rethinking of anti-nuclear positions amongst the environmental movement.^[2] In addition to current nuclear technology, Tindale supports the research and development of the thorium fuel cycle in molten salt reactors to reduce nuclear waste output and increase safety.^[3]^[4]

His past roles have included Senior Research Fellow on environment and energy at the Institute for Public Policy Research.
