After more than two million pounds of nuclear waste has piled up in
South Dade over 35 years, Florida Power & Light is quietly seeking a
zoning change to allow six acres of its Turkey Point site to be used
for new above-ground storage casks.

your elected officials over the past couple of weeks. You are making a
difference!

meet and mark up their respective legislation.

LET’S KEEP CONGRESSIONAL PHONES RINGING ALL DAY LONG!
Dear Friends,
Both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives are beginning to
consider separate legislation that could have an enormous impact on
our nation’s energy future. It is essential that we all weigh in now,
in the strongest possible manner, to help shape that energy future.
Let’s tell Congress loud and clear to support renewable energy and
energy efficiency programs and to stop any more taxpayer support for
dirty and dangerous nuclear power and coal technologies.
Washington-based groups like NIRS, PSR, FoE, NRDC, NukeFree.org, and
others are working hard to stop this legislation from becoming a gift
to the nuclear power and coal industries. But the nuclear and coal
industries have far more lobbyists and far more money than we do.

Help Stop Pro-Nuke Budget Amendments NOW!
March 31, 2009
They’re at it again! And we have to act again–now!
The U.S. Senate is currently debating President Obama’s FY 2010 budget
on the Senate floor.
A small group of Senators, led by Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsay
Graham (R-SC), is preparing to introduce a number of pro-nuclear
amendments intended to support still more subsidies to the nuclear
industry. Other Senators involved are Crapo, Brownback, Voinovich, and
Vitter.

Water Worries Shape Local Energy Decisions
Scarcity Forces Electricity Companies to Rethink Power-Plant Plans,
Providing an Opening for Renewable Sources
By REBECCA SMITH
Last month, Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, a
utility that provides power to mostly rural areas, agreed to conduct a
major study to see if it might meet growing energy needs through
energy efficiency and not a big, new coal-fired power plant, as it had
proposed for southeast Colorado.

Peter Bradford was an NRC Commissioner at the time of the Three Mile
Island accident in 1979. Today he was asked to testify before a Senate
subcommittee about the accident and lessons learned. Here is a copy of
his prepared testimony; we think you’ll find it useful.
