SMOKE SCREEN – why building new nukes is a lost opportunity for humankind with precious time and money wasted on the wrong choice | Fairewinds Energy Education




The Fairewinds Crew created this special 2-minute animation to show you why building new nukes is a lost opportunity for humankind with precious time and money wasted on the wrong choice. At least $8.2 Trillion would be needed to build the 1,000 atomic reactors the nuclear industry wants – that’s 1 reactor every 12-days for 35-years. Watch the animation to see what it means and why!

If you want more information, we have issued a paper, and presented this topic at several major universities and forums , and wanted to make it more accessible to people throughout the world. Truthout published Arnie Gundersen’s summation of this project in a news analysis entitled: Nuclear Power Is Not “Green Energy”: It Is a Fount of Atomic Waste.

People often say: here’s what it boils down to, but at Fairewinds we have found that in the nuclear business, ‘boiling something down’ is not a good thing to do!  Here in Vermont, where we make maple syrup from the sap of the maple tree, we say: ‘here’s how it sugars off’.  Fairewinds has sugared off the data to give you this 2-minute CO2 Smokescreen Animation; we hope it clarifies a tough topic.

12/11反原発・反核集会のお知らせ | No Nukes Action Committee



12/11反原発・反核集会のお知らせ (english below)***

早いもので2016年も終わりつつあります。忌まわしい福島メルトダウンからすでに5年半以上もの月日が流れました。
その間、国はできるだけのことをして福島犠牲者を救ってきたのか? どうして過酷事故が起きてしまったのか、その事実を国民に隠さず見せたのか? 二度と悲惨な事故が起きないよう、努力してきたのか? 残念ながら、その答えは全部ノーです。自主避難者への住宅支援が打ち切られようとしています。
カリフォルニアを2度訪れて、福島の現状を報告した椎名千恵子さんが次のヴィデオの始め5分間で、現在の状況を説明しています。https://youtu.be/BTei5YC-LKg
国民は、事実を見つめなければならない時、国は放送・報道の自由を奪い、学校教育では原発の危険性を教えず、東京オリンピックで日本国を世界に宣伝し、日本は安全だと嘘をつき、国民の意欲を高揚させようとしています。

12/11 Announcement of anti-nuclear / anti-nuclear rally
Posted by k.delaney on December 6, 2016

Early ones are coming to an end in 2016. Five more than a half years passed already from abominable Fukushima meltdown.

Meanwhile, the country has done as much as possible and saved Fukushima victims? Why did the severe accident happen, did not hide the fact from the public? Have you made an effort to prevent a miserable accident again? Unfortunately, the answer is all no. Housing support for volunteer evacuees is about to be discontinued.

Visited California twice and Chieko Shiina who reported the current situation in Fukushima explains the current situation in the first 5 minutes of the next video. https://youtu.be/BTei5YC-LKg

When citizens have to look at the facts, the country deprives freedom of broadcasting and press, school education does not teach the dangers of nuclear power, promotes Japan to the world at the Tokyo Olympic Games, Japan says it is safe to lie I am trying to raise the motivation of the people.
