A simple statement on nuclear power and the climate crisis

 

Dear Friends:

 

We're getting a little tired hearing nuclear industry lobbyists and
pro-nuclear politicians allege that environmentalists are now supporting
nuclear power as a means of addressing the climate crisis. We know
that's not true, and we're sure you do too. In fact, using nuclear power
would be counterproductive at reducing carbon emissions. As Amory Lovins
of Rocky Mountain Institute points out, "every dollar invested in
nuclear expansion will worsen climate change by buying less solution per
dollar..."

 

The statement below is simple and straightforward. We'll send it to the
media and politicians when they misstate the facts, and you can use it
as well. We hope you and your organization will join us and sign on in
support here. The more organizations and people sign on, the faster the
media and politicians will get the message. Invite your friends and
other organizations to sign too!

 

"We do not support construction of new nuclear reactors as a means of
addressing the climate crisis. Available renewable energy and energy
efficiency technologies are faster, cheaper, safer and cleaner
strategies for reducing greenhouse emissions than nuclear power."

 

Please go to http://www.nirs.org/petition2/index.php to sign this
statement. Organizational sign-ons are especially wanted, but
individuals are encouraged to sign as well.
