class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Part Two of the BizNews interview with Dr Patrick Moore, one of the co-founders of Greenpeace and the most prominent figures in the field of environmentalism, Moore makes a compelling case for nuclear energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Moore shares why he was silenced on the topic of nuclear energy during his years at Greenpeace and provides excellent insight into both the misconceptions around the risks of nuclear energy and why nuclear energy is not inherently evil in any way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moore argues that we should conserve the most precious fuels we have, which are fossil fuels, by replacing them with nuclear energy where feasible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A brilliant
