Make a difference in the challenge to confront global warming and prevent nuclear war and the development and use of nuclear weapons.
Tell President Obama to cancel the Vogtle Loan Guarantee! We don’t want or need new nuclear reactors and we don’t think that taxpayers should be on the hook to support a mature industry.

What is the role of physicians in the face of tragedies like those that occured in the past week in Japan? Aside from emergency response teams, is there anything we can do to secure a safer future in our own communities and nation? The best approach is prevention. Join us to explore the approaches we can use in Arizona to secure a safe energy future and avoid the dire consequences we have witnessed in Northern Japan. Who ian lead the way in preventing such catastrophies, what can we do and what is your role as a physicina and citizen?

She will explain the role of the ACC in regulating energy in Arizona, discuss the risks associated with nuclear power and explore the possibilities for safe renewable energy in our state as the best approach to prevention. She will also tell you how you can be involved and why you should do so as physicians.
