Beyond Nuclear board member and investigative journalist Karl Grossman has written:

"In honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of David Brower [July 1, 1912 – November 5, 2000], founder and chair of Earth Island Institute, founder and chair of  Friends of the Earth and long-time executive director of the Sierra  Club, EnviroVideo has re-issued a 1996 Enviro Close-Up interview I  did with Mr. Brower. It is being aired nationally this month on Free Speech TV. And it can be viewed online at -- http://blip.tv/envirovideo/david-brower-ecu-617-6181648

Among other things, he tells of how his opposition to nuclear power led to losing his position at the Sierra Club."

The Sierra Club has since taken an anti-nuclear position. The Sierra Club grassroots held a No Nukes summit in Takoma Park, Maryland in early May, at which Beyond Nuclear board member Dr. Judith Johnsrud was honored for her 50 years of anti-nuclear leadership.

Kenneth Brower, David Brower's eldest son, has recently written The Wildness Within: Remembering David Brower (see cover photo).
