As it turns out, especially not that group:

"In fact, the Union of Concerned Scientists, far from being an
"independent organization that focuses on technical issues," is a
left-wing activist group where being a scientist is not even a membership
requirement. In the past it has lobbied against Ronald Reagan's Strategic
Defense Initiative ("Star Wars") and nuclear power. (It was
formed in 1969 to protest the Vietnam War.)"
