Description: Fifty years ago this was the site of a fight by local citizens and scientists to stop a nuclear power plant. Some people credit this effort with starting the environmental activism movement in the US. The results of this fight shape our world to this day. The platform and pond are in the middle of the hole dug for the foundations of the plant. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodega_Bay_Nuclear_Power_Plant www.monitor.net/monitor/12-3-95/bodegapge.html I particularly like the description of Rose Gaffney as "a wonderful friend, but a wretched enemy".
