My own effort to draft acceptable lead text to discuss at talk page

Michael D. Shellenberger (born June 16, 1971) is an American author with a master's degree in anthropology. After a successful early career in public relations, Shellenberger became a staunch advocate for nuclear power,[1][2] and has written several books and articles covering climate change, nuclear power, and various aspects of the human condition. He is a co-founder of the

Environmental Progress.[1]


A self-described

ecomodernist, Shellenberger believes that economic growth can continue without negative environmental impacts through technological research and development, usually through a combination of nuclear power and urbanization. A controversial figure, Shellenberger disagrees with most environmentalists over the impacts of environmental threats and policies for addressing them.[3][4] Shellenberger's positions and writings have been called "bad science" and "inaccurate" by environmental scientists and academics.[a]

Hopefully rescue refs

COMMENT This section was copy pasted along with the entire contents of the article. This was the first paragraphs of the lead. I deleted the rest of the original article. The idea is to have the rescue ref bot import named references. If it works, I'll invite another editor to substitute the text with populated references in place of their own talk page text with orphaned refs. This is a redundant with a similar experiment I did to the talk page itself, so hopefully one or the other will work
