Ian Renner of Connecticut is an advocate of peace, which is why he aligned himself with Greenpeace, to help advocate nuclear disarmament. As Greenpeace's site explains itself, “The Cold War may be over, but this does not mean nuclear weapons have disappeared. Far from it: There are almost 36,000 nuclear weapons in the world, thousands on hair-trigger alert, with more than a third of them ready to launch at a moment's notice, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Over 400 reactors in warships and nuclear submarines are still circling the globe. Some are rotting away on the bottom of the ocean or in a distant port somewhere in Russia. Accidents such as the Russian submarine, the Kursk, tragically sinking in the Barents Sea can happen every day, anywhere. Over 2,000 nuclear weapons tests have left a legacy of global and regional contamination. People living near the test sites have suffered from cancers, stillbirths, miscarriages and other health effects. Many had to leave their hometown or island as it became too contaminated to live there. Today, the number of countries involved in active weapons programs is increasing. A growing number of countries are lining up to join the nuclear club, increasing the chance that a nuclear catastrophe will happen somewhere on the planet. Yet the U.S. government, instead of increasing efforts towards true nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, proceeds with their National Missile Defense plan, dubbed "Star Wars". A system of radars, satellites and missiles will be developed to detect and destroy incoming enemy missiles.”

Ian Renner of Connecticut and Greenpeace want to stop nuclear production because of how dangerous it can be. As Greenpeace's website explains, “Nuclear power is dangerous enough when trained professionals are attempting to operate reactors without incident, accident or atomic catastrophe. However, when you add to this danger the threat of nuclear terrorism, the continued support of nuclear power by the U.S. government becomes unconscionable. Rather than attempt to construct new, unsafe and uneconomical reactors on the back of the American taxpayer, the federal government should phase out the remaining nuclear reactors and replace them with clean, renewable sources of electricity that do not threaten our families, homes and communities. After all, terrorists aren't targeting windmills or solar panels.”
