Quote of the Month: "
It would be paradoxical in this situation if the world were to
continue burning ever more hydrocarbon resources, which could have much more valuable uses, and
were to leave in the earth uranium and thorium resources which can hardly be of any other peaceful
use than as fuel in nuclear reactors". Hans Blix, then IAEA Director General, on September 4,
1997, speaking on the sustainable energy challenge.
IAEA Press release 97/18, 4 September 1997.
