Guy Chichester (February 11, 1935 – February 8, 2009)〔(Guy Chichester, Clamshell Alliance Co-Founder, 1935-2009 )〕 was a founding member of the Clamshell Alliance, an anti-nuclear group that led protests against Seabrook Station Nuclear Power Plant in the 1970s, which led to a broader environmental movement. Though the Seabrook power plant was eventually built, a planned second reactor at the site was cancelled. Several acts of protest at Seabrook, including one large demonstration that resulted in nearly 1,500 arrests, contributed to a turn public opinion against nuclear power in the USA in the 1970s. Then Governor Meldrim Thomson, a vocal supporter of the Seabrook plant, was defeated for re-election in 1978, in large part because of voter dissatisfaction over the rising cost of plant construction.〔(Chichester, activist force, dies at age 73 )〕 A few years before the Seabrook protests, Chichester helped rally opposition to a plan by Aristotle Onassis to build an oil refinery on Great Bay in Durham, New Hampshire. He helped establish the national Green Party. Chichester was also a local organizer for George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign.〔 Chichester was born and raised on Long Island, New York. He was a carpenter by trade.〔 ==See also== *Anti-nuclear movement in the United States *Anti-nuclear protests in the United States *Paul Gunter 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「Guy Chichester」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
