We begin our definitive investigation of the economics of the Diablo Canyon nuke with JOHN GEESMAN.

This great California attorney cites corruption and Diablo's scam of hundreds of millions of above market costs that are destroying the economy of California.

Geesman confirms that using PG&E’s own numbers, Diablo will cost California $5 billion over the next 5 years in over-market charges.

From the Mothers for Peace we hear from LINDA SEELEY emphasizes the safety aspects of this unregulated, uninsured radioactive nightmare.

Mothers stalwart LINDA PARKS warns that tritium emissions from Diablo exceed those still pouring out of Fukushima.

From Beyond Nuclear KEVIN KAMPS dismantles the insane attempt to re-open Michigan’s ancient, decrepit reactor at Palisades.

Safe Energy legend KARL GROSSMAN does the numbers of Long Island’s Shoreham, which he helped shut.

Karl reminds us of CRAC-2, the devastating Sandia Labs report on the apocalyptic damage that could come with the next reactor disaster.

He also reports on the massive network of seismic faults around and under the Diablo reactors.

In Central Ohio, the federal government has unleashed untrained individuals from outside the community, who think they are unaccountable. But greater Columbus has responded in one voice. From the grassroots, which quickly organized itself in sophisticated ways, to civic leaders and faith-based institutions, Columbus is sending a unified message: Immigrants are welcome, ICE is not. Read on for quotes from leaders; more examples of ICE brutality; and resources keeping the community safe.

From disrupting ICE agents’ sleep, to documenting abuses and holding them to the Constitution, Central Ohio activists, lawyers, and organizers are mobilized around the clock. 

This is a documented (but incomplete) map of their abductions and the level of escalation throughout the week. Data is from ICEOUT.

ICE is on the streets of Columbus arresting people. Supposedly Columbus officials and police are not cooperating with ICE, and if true, this is good news.

But you need to tell your friends and family about what else your “elected” Columbus City Council has recently done. It would make President Trump proud.

In the greatest power-grab in Columbus history your City Council took revenge on the residents of German Village over side-walk improvements by changing the City Charter. Wait a minute… Doesn’t the city already update the City Charter once every ten years with a panel of citizens who make recommendations?

Correct. That’s how the City Charter is supposed to be updated in a rational democracy, but not Columbus.
