In 1967 he helped found the legendary anti-war Liberation News Service, which in 1968 moved to the organic, communal Montague (Massachusetts) Farm.
In 1973 Montague became a launching pad for the grassroots safe energy movement. Harvey helped coin the phrase "No Nukes" in the successful fight against twin reactors proposed nearby. In 1976 he helped organize the Clamshell Alliance, which staged the first mass demonstrations against the Seabrook nuclear plant. In 1979 he helped organize the Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) concerts in Madison Square Garden. In 1994 he spoke for Greenpeace to 350,000 semi-conscious fans at Woodstock 2.
Harvey writes and speaks widely against atomic power and for a totally green-powered Earth. His SOLARTOPIA! is the first published utopian visioning of a planet free from fossil/nuclear fuels. With Minnesota windpower pioneer Dan Juhl he co-authored HARVESTING WIND ENERGY AS A CASH CROP: A GUIDE TO LOCALLY OWNED WIND FARMING. ( https://danmar.us)
