The Lean Economy Connection (LEC) is a research group looking for solutions to climate change and the depletion of fossil fuels.

Today, nuclear power plants have been compromised by groups trying to show the public security vulnerablilities of nuclear plants. This is just one of the short term security threats. One long-term problem of nuclear power is what to do with the waste it eneviatably produces.

The LEC says that wind power is much safer to humans and the environment than nuclear energy.
