Dear TVA Board of Directors,
The events in Japan have revealed with heart-stopping clarity just how things can go wrong when nuclear power gets out of control. For years, the nuclear industry in America has pointed to Japan as an example of how safe nuclear power can be. Now they have been proven wrong.
Nuclear power is a high risk and hazardous technology. There is still no safe storage solution for high level radioactive waste, so the rods must be stored on-site at reactor sites along the Tennessee River.
Studies have shown that both solar and wind power production are now more cost effective than nuclear power, with none of the long term risks to the people or the environment of the Tennessee Valley. Investments in Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy have tremendous potential to put Americans back to work in new, “Green-collar” jobs.
I urge TVA to impose a moratorium on all its nuclear plans, to halt plans for the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant, and instead commit to advancing safe and truthfully clean energy solutions for our valley.
Sincerely,
|
