Make a difference in the challenge to confront global warming and prevent nuclear war and the development and use of nuclear weapons.
Today, PSR is joining with dozens of organizations, representing millions of Americans, calling on the U.S. Senate to pass clean energy and climate legislation. Please tell your Senators that we can no longer delay action if we are to protect our health and the health of future generations from catastrophic climate change.
Contact your federal legislators and urge them to oppose increasing nuclear loan guarantees.
Please contact Energy Secretary Stephen Chu and the managers of the Title XVII Loan Guarantee program to tell them that issuing conditional loan guarantees would risk billions of taxpayer funds on unlicensed and uneconomical new reactors.
Tell your Senators to take action to prevent nuclear subsidies in the Senate climate bill. A climate bill with nuclear subsidies would not be a climate bill at all; we need the fastest, cleanest, safest and cheapest means of reducing carbon emissions, and nuclear power does not fit the bill.
Please contact your Senators today and tell them that reprocessing is not a solution for spent fuel and does not belong in a climate bill.
Please contact President Obama today and tell him no more subsidies for the nuclear industry. It is essential that we address climate change by pursuing the fastest, cheapest, and cleanest alternatives first. Nuclear power does not meet these criteria. A bill with more giveaways for the nuclear industry is no solution to climate change.
Contact your federal legislators and urge them to oppose increasing nuclear loan guarantees.
