[NukeNet] Schwarzenegger goes nuclear? - ALERT!!!!!

Mon Mar 24 18:45:52 EDT 2008

Got a lot of GREAT letters written to the Chairman of Florida's PSC for
granting a license to Florida Power and Light for the nukes..
Chairman at psc.state.fl.us

It's the only way and a good

opportunity for us to educate these folks.

Schwarzenegger goes nuclear?

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is making waves in energy circles after saying
Friday that nuclear power has "a great future" and that it is time to
"relook at that issue again rather than just looking the other way and
living
in denial."

The Alliance doesn't want California to live "in denial"; yet the
Governor's statement belies the state's commitment to fully analyzing the
costs,
benefits and risks of aging nuclear plants before continuing to rely on
this lethal generation source.  

We ask you to please copy of the sample letter (attached) or similar
letter to the Governor asap.  Emailing the Governor is a two step process.

Copy the letter you have edited with your name and address, then go to
 <http://gov.ca.gov/interact> http://gov.ca.gov/interact . First, type your
name, email and "Energy
Proposals" in subject and hit "submit", then paste letter with your name and
address and again "submit".  Third, if you have time please cc your letter
to the the Alliance at rochelle at a4nr.org.

In Peace and appreciation

SAMPLE LETTER TO GOV Arnold Schwarzenegger 

Date

Dear Governor Schwarzenegger,

We have been
 impressed with your support of alternative renewable power for Californias
energy future.  However, we are greatly concerned with recent media reports
that you find new nuclear generation to be a Great idea.  

Your administration has been extremely responsible in its efforts to
understand the full ramifications of continuing down a nuclear path. Your
support of AB 1632, requiring that the state analyze the full costs,
benefits and risks of  Californias  continued reliance on aging reactors on
our fragile coast, is most
 appreciated.

If you are truly considering nuclear power as a future energy source, we ask
that you first provide to California residents the following information:

1) Where will the radioactive waste produced by daily operation of nuclear
reactors be permanently and safely stored until it is no longer
 lethal?

2) Assuming waste ever leaves reactors sites, how will the federal
government reimburse California for training and equipping of all first
responders in counties across our state?

3) What will new reactors cost ratepayers (noting estimates for a new plant
in Florida plant have tripled before ground is broken)?

4) With water resources getting scarcer and new state and federal policies
moving to foreclose on the environmentally devastating use of seawater as
coolant for power plants, how will new reactors be cooled?

5) And, above all, as we face the reality of global climate change, and
 in view of the fact
 that a dollar spent on energy efficiency cuts seven times as much
greenhouse gas emissions as a dollar spent on nuclear power, why would we
contemplate sinking more money into nuclear generation, thereby delaying
investments in efficiency and renewable electricity, investments which cut
carbon emissions faster and cheaper?

Without knowing what new reactors will cost and where the radioactive waste
produced will be disposed of, how can more nuclear power plants be a "great
idea"?

Thank you in advance for your consideration of and responses to these
questions,

Name
