Clean energy

[novapsyche]

Tomorrow, Monday, October 22, the Senate will consider pushing nuclear energy into a great bill meant to begin, finally, serious federal investment in clean, sustainable energy.

Tomorrow, Graham Nash, Jackson Browne, and Bonnie Raitt will deliver a petition to Congress which asks the Senate to remove the nuclear industry loan guarantees from the pending energy bill.

Sign the petition if you would like to add your name asking Congress to strip the $50 billion in loan guarantees for building nuclear power plants.

Also, call your Congresspersons tomorrow.

hi novapsyche - :) I found you because I love your user pic in Metaphorge's comment section and I wanted to beg you for permission to steal it (with credit) (it's your crescent girl) and then I saw your clean energy entry above (Go Bonnie Raitt!) ...(run on sentence and parenthetical hell here) and so I tried to sign the petition but the link doesn't work... so hi! Could I friend you? And I'll go hunt down that petition now...

Thanks for letting me know--I fixed the link.

I stole the crescent girl myself, so steal away.

Nice to meet you! :)

There are nuclear options that are ridiculously more clean, more efficient, and less wasteful than the method that we associate with nuclear power now. Have you ever looked into pebble plants?

"There is also significantly less experience with production scale Pebble Bed Reactors than Light Water Reactors. As such, claims made by both proponents and detractors are more theory-based than based on practical experience."

So why would I do this?

my thoughts exactly...

I kind of would like to see carbon emissions go down.

Is there a petition in support?
