The simple statement on nuclear power and climate has gathered almost 900 signatures since it went online Tuesday evening, including nearly 200 organizations from across the U.S. and the world (Lists of the organizational signers are available on NIRS homepage, www.nirs.org). The statement already has been translated into French, Russian and Ukrainian, and a Spanish translation will be available soon. If you haven’t signed yet, please do so at:
Nuclear power

The statement is plain and straightforward: "We do not support construction of new nuclear reactors as a means of addressing the climate crisis. Available renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies are faster, cheaper, safer and cleaner strategies for reducing greenhouse emissions than nuclear power." The more signatures we get, the faster the media and pro-nuclear politicians will get the message that the only people who want more nuclear power are those who are paid by the nuclear power industry!
