` Patriarch Bartholomew adamantly Opposes the use of Dangerous Nuclear Constantinople Patriarch Bartholomew is for Green Energy, and he adamantly Opposes the use of Dangerous Nuclear Power. Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, Bartholomew I, calls for the use of alternatives Green Energy versus the use of Dangerous Nuclear Power. He also has called for global prayers for the Nuclear Disaster Victims in Japan. The Italian Catholic news agency, SIR, reported Monday, citing the Greek agency. In view of the Disastrous Explosions in Japanese Nuclear Power plants, Bartholomew stated: "With all due respect to science, we propose that nuclear power, which is Very Dangerous to Humanity, should be replaced by various forms of Safe Green Energy, which are harmless to environment and harmless to humanity. " Environmental and human-friendly forms of Green Energy should be aggressive promoted and used, after Japan has experienced this Nuclear Nightmare from radioactivity.
