Friday, June 23, 3:45-4:45pm, Goodale Park [during ComFest; in the Peace and Healing Tent], 120 W. Goodale St.

Stop the fascism in the Republican Ohio legislature.

Join the discussion at Comfest on Friday, June 23 at 3:45pm in the Peace and Healing Tent.

Pranav Jani will lead the discussion about S.B. 83, the bill that restricts Ohio public colleges and universities from teaching or holding training on diversity/inclusion, climate change, and other topics; prevents faculty from striking; and essentially makes the institutions a safe place for hate speech.

M.J. Borden will lead the discussion on Issue 1, which will be on the ballot during the special election in Ohio on August 8. This bill is meant to prohibit citizens from getting initiatives on the ballot, particularly the one this year for reproductive rights.

All are welcome! Join the conversation.

Hosted by The Columbus Free Press.

Since October 2022, which marked 75 years since the House Un-American Activities (HUAC) began its witch hunting congressional hearings investigating “subversion” in Tinseltown, there have been a number of events commemorating the Hollywood Blacklist.

Because it can’t compete with the massive rise of renewable energy, its death rattle has morphed into yet another of the industry’s periodic big budget PR campaigns meant to spark a “Renaissance.”  

But America’s dangerously dark, aging fleet of 94 reactors constantly leak dangerous radiation.  

They make climate chaos worse, kill downwind living beings, and dangerously deteriorate every day. 

And as the breaking news shows, a wide range of experts now warn that Russia might not hesitate to actually blow up the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, with six reactors and fuel pools that could blanket Europe with deadly radiation—-a catastrophic disaster that could be duplicated at any other atomic reactor targeted by a hostile power or terror organization.   

What follows are 108 reasons for the industry’s failure.  A second set will follow shortly:  
 
1.    Commercial atomic reactors regularly burn the planet at 325 degrees Celsius or more.

2.  They emit significant quantities of carbon and other greenhouse gasses during nuclear fission.

Synopsis by Greg Pace (Treasurer of Columbus Community Rights Coalition)

Columbus Community Rights Coalition (CCRC), an Ohio-based 501(c)(3) organization, has published a white paper meant to inform resident stakeholders of risks to the water associated with oil & gas (O&G) production activities occurring within their watershed region of Columbus, Ohio.

The paper offers some history of oil & gas operations in Ohio over the past century and highlights how hundreds of thousands of undocumented wells are believed to exist. Most are orphaned or abandoned, which leads to risks of contamination over time when they are not properly plugged. The shorter history of Class II saltwater injection wells (SWIWs) used for oil & gas “brine” disposal has its own set of problems associated with incidents of water and wetland contamination in Ohio, and with how they are regulated by the state.  This is of concern for Central Ohio residents who rely on public water as there are many legacy injection wells in their Source Water Protection Area (SWPA).
