Just say NO to Indo-US Nuclear Pact

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 04:44:35 -0000

I am not a Communist by any stretch of imagination but on the issue of signing the Indo-U.S. nuclear agreement, I am with the Communists of India. My reasons for opposing the deal are not based on fear that the American government or other watchdog agencies would interfere in India’s use of nuclear technology but are based on common sense.

www.kansascity.com | 07/22/2008 | Pro-Con: Should Congress authorize construction of more nuclear power plants? NO

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:31:09 -0000

America’s twin crises of sky-rocketing energy costs and catastrophic climate change effects shouldn’t be a convenient excuse to push nuclear power as a viable replacement for coal, oil and natural gas power-generating plants.

The nuclear disaster at the Soviet Union’s Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986 and the near-disaster at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania in 1979 are reasons enough to strike nuclear power from the list of acceptable non-fossil and carbon energy sources.

FOCUS Information Agency: Purposeful campaign against nuclear power underway in Bulgaria: Kozloduy NPP director

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 19:53:45 -0000

A purposeful campaign has been underway since three weeks and no matter what they say it is targeted not against Kozloduy NPP, but against nuclear power in Bulgaria and it is against Bulgaria’s interests, Kozloduy NPP Executive Director Ivan Genov said at a press conference, cited by Focus News Agency.

Daily Herald | Nuclear energy is the wrong choice

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:56:38 -0000

John McCain's plan to build 45 new reactors by 2030 demonstrates more about his connections to nuclear industry lobbyists than to any real concern about addressing climate change.

Nuclear power provides far less climate protection per dollar than any of its competitors.

The mining, uranium production, transport, use and storage of nuclear fuel (and waste) create global warming.

Nuclear energy isn't the pure solution to our problems | www.tennessean.com | The Tennessean

Thanks, Tennessean, for the good job covering the issue of nuclear waste, particularly the June 13 editorial and the article by Don Safer. I would like to point out, however, that the opposing views of Steve Creamer are full of untruths and distortions.

HeraldNet: Nuclear power is not the answer

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 23:31:27 -0000

Regarding the Friday letter, "Nuclear energy can answer our needs":\n\nIn the 1950s, nuclear power looked like our best option for future energy. Today nuclear power seems obsolete and expensive. Nuclear power's costs are rising because it requires tremendous amounts of costly fossil fuels to mine, process and transport uranium and build nuclear power plants. Plus, there are serious environmental concerns our federal government cannot seem to address.

Don't be misled by Entergy ad: Times Argus Online

Sat, 24 May 2008 20:50:44 -0000

Entergy's ads about Vermont Yankee being clean, safe and reliable are psychologically abusive to the good people of Vermont and an insult to our intelligence.

Are we supposed to ignore that uranium comes from somewhere? Uranium mining has devastated the traditional food sources and health of the Serpent River First Nation in Ontario. The workplace safety insurance board pays $30,000 to the families of uranium miners who die from workplace-related cancer. We are paying for our "cheap" energy with bodies.

San Luis Obispo County’s website | 05/13/2008 | Viewpoint: Nuclear energy is not the answer

Fri, 16 May 2008 07:26:57 -0000

ithout doubt, climate change is the most urgent threat of our time. There is a growing misconception, however, that nuclear energy could play a role in addressing this problem. A careful examination of the nuclear industry— the economics, environmental and public health risks and vulnerability to terrorist attack—will show that nuclear power is not a viable solution to global warming.

EVER since former Vice President Al Gore won an Oscar and a Nobel Prize for his fight against expanding climate change, there have been claims that nuclear power plants are the easy solution. They give phenomenal amounts of energy, after all, without much carbon production.

Some who seek facile solutions say it's about time to dump the safeguards of 1976's Proposition 15, which essentially put a stop to atomic-power facility construction in California after completion of the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant on the central coast.

Nuclear power? Not so fast - Press-Telegram

Ever since former Vice President Albert Gore won an Oscar and a Nobel Prize for his fight against expanding climate change, there have been claims that nuclear power plants are the easy solution. They give phenomenal amounts energy, after all, without much carbon production.

Some who seek facile solutions say it's about time to dump the safeguards first proposed in the 1976 Proposition 15, then signed into law by ex-Gov. Jerry Brown, which essentially put a stop to atomic power construction in this state after completion of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant on the central coast.

With the recent settlement between the state of Maryland and Constellation Energy Group, the power company is once again championing Calvert Cliffs as the site of a new nuclear power plant. This is not a cause for celebration.

On July 13, Constellation submitted the first new application to build a nuclear power plant in the U.S. since Three Mile Island. But the company threatened to go elsewhere if Maryland lawmakers re-established state regulatory control on new power plants.
