Dear Friend,
From continued generation of radioactive waste to 26 new atomic
reactor applications to the horrific coal ash spill in Tennessee, the
signs are clear: it’s time for decisive action on a renewable energy
economy for America. NIRS has recently teamed up with CLEAN – a
collaborative movement of state and local organizations and
individuals who will force and support policy makers at all levels of
government to implement new energy policies. CLEAN has launched a
campaign to let President-elect Obama know that there is strong
grassroots support for bold action on our clean energy future.
The next step in the campaign is a national call-in day to the White
House on Wednesday, January 21st in order to make our voices heard on
Obama’s first day in office. We want to make it known that the
American people are saying YES to renewables, YES to energy
efficiency, NO to carbon capture and sequestration, and NO to nuclear
power.
It is all the more important to contact the Obama administration
considering that just yesterday, Obama’s choice for energy secretary,
Dr. Stephen Chu, testified before Congress in favor of the $18.5
billion loan guarantee program for new nuclear reactors and for
federal funding of reprocessing research. Let Obama know those kind of
positions are not what our nation needs.
It will take people calling from all across the country and all walks
of life to make an impact. We need your voice, too! Join us! Please
click here to make your pledge to call the White House on Wednesday,
January 21st. You’ll also find call-in information and a brief sample
script you can use. It will only take a few minutes to take part in
this national movement to ensure a clean energy future for America!
Thanks for all you do.
