Nader argued that now is the time to make a major push towards alternative energies like wind and solar power.Former presidential candidate Ralph Nader brought his push for clean, green energy to the University of Virginia Monday night. He spoke about trouble with big business and the power of third parties.
Nader said, "Practical, renewable and efficient energy has reached critical mass." He also said it is "time for victory," to the hundreds of UVA students that attended the presentation.
In between signing books and speaking to a packed crowd, Nader argued that now is the time to make a major push towards alternative energies like wind and solar power. "That's what we've got to do to move to displace fossil fuels and nuclear," said Nader. "They don't get us involved in wars overseas. They're better for the environment, better for small business, they're better for our descendents."
Nader believes that future could become a reality with young people leading the charge. "That's what these gathering are all about. To build a grass roots force, for safe, clean efficient energy," said Nader.
