Environmentalists for Nuclear Energy (EFN) is a pro-nuclear power non-profit organization which aims at providing complete and straightforward information to the public on energy and the environment. It also promotes the benefits of nuclear energy for a cleaner world, and aims at uniting people in favor of clean nuclear energy. The website of the organization〔() 〕 states that environmental opposition to nuclear energy is the "greatest misunderstanding and mistake of the century". EFN is funded by the memberships and donations of its members. ==History== EFN was started by Bruno Comby〔() 〕 in 1996 after the publication of his book ''Environmentalists For Nuclear Energy''.〔() 〕〔() 〕 EFN now gathers over 10,000 members and supporters,〔() 〕 with local correspondents and a network of affiliated organizations and in more than 60 countries, to inform the public on energy and the environment. Patrick Moore co-founder of Greenpeace in 1971〔() 〕 and James Lovelock author of the Gaia theory, considered as the historical founder of environmental thinking〔() 〕 are supporters of the group. The general assembly of EFN is held once a year in Houilles.〔() 〕 The headquarters of EFN are located in a positive energy eco-house in the suburbs of Paris, requiring very little energy, powered with solar energy (thermal and PV), wind energy, geothermal air-conditioning, a high efficiency heat-pump, double-flux ventilation, and just a small amount of low-carbon-emitting French nuclear energy. Conceptually designed by members of the organization, this house has an almost-nil carbon-footprint (500 times less than a standard gas-heated construction of the same size).〔() 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Environmentalists for Nuclear Energy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
