"It is the public that is being asked to assume the risks... the public must decide whether it wishes to continue on the present road and it can only do so when in full possession of the facts..."
"We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The roads we have long been travelling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road/ the one less traveled/ offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth."
