Tell President Obama to abolish the Nuclear Loan Guarantee Program.
The world needs a global energy plan SOON if we are to reverse global warming with its myriad costly and possibly devastating consequences. Coal-fired power plants, gas-guzzling cars and trucks, energy-wasting buildings, fossil-fuel dependent air travel, and lime for cement all contribute. Nuclear energy costs too much and diverts resources from quicker, more effective carbon-sparing technologies.
A number of energy plans have been offered. The challenge is to get policymakers to adopt a credible plan before we hit a tipping point and the problem soars out of control.
Institute for Energy and Environmental Research founder Arjun Makhijani has recently published a comprehensive plan for carbon-free, nuclear free energy for the United States. The executive summary is available: http://www.ieer.org/sdafiles/15-1.pdf
Abolition 2000 has a sustainable energy working group that published a report recently : http://www.abhttp://www.abolition2000.org/site/c.cdJIKKNpFqG/b.1316427/k.4E9B/Sustainable_Energy_Working_Group.htmolition2000.org/site/c.cdJIKKNpFqG/b.1316427/k.4E9B/Sustainable_Energy_Working_Group.htm
As you read this the chemical and toy industries are fighting tooth and nail to block legislation that would help prevent diseases like childhood cancer. Our only chance of moving forward this year is to rally around the Senate bill. We can still win protections for Washington’s children, but, not if we stay silent.
Health professionals have a significant part to play in the effort to eliminate coal fired power plants and on December 8th we hope you will join us for an educational morning focused on educating health professionals about the dangerous effects of coal-fired plants.
