"The House Appropriations Committee is meeting Thursday, June 24 at 1 pm to consider the energy and water appropriations bill for next year's budget. President Obama's Department of Energy wants $36 Billion more of your dollars to hand out in loans to the nuclear power industry. Your actions can stop this unnecessary nuclear bailout: Tell your Representative that wealthy nuclear companies like Electricite de France, Areva, General Electric, NRG Energy and Toshiba don't need taxpayer bailouts! Fill in your zip code below to send your letter."

Because oil is SAFE, don't you know. :sarcasm:

The ecological disaster unfolding in the Gulf is a rarity when it comes to oil--for coal, it's standard operating procedure to poison everything in sight.

Nuclear power is dirty energy.

It gets radiocative material into the environment.

Via uranium and thorium released directly into the atmosphere from the ash. Not to mention mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and hundreds of other things.

Coal
Petroleum
Wallboard (gypsum)
Agricultural mineral phosphate
Pepto-Bismol
Architectural granite
Glow-in-the-dark fire exit signs
Tobacco
Camping lantern mantles
Aircraft runway beacons
TV (CRT) tubes
Smoke detectors
Over 200 medical tests
Rainwater
Tap water
Seawater
The Human Body
The Planet Earth

Radiation and radioactive materials are dangerous, but they are as common as tin and zinc -- combined.

The alternatives are far worse. We're watching one happen right now in the Gulf of Mexico.

We have been trained to think of radiation in much the same way as "ignorant" people believe in demons. The No Nukes™ movement is the Left's anti-abortion, anti-Evolution, Global-Warming-denial, and War On Drugs rolled into one highly lucrative culture-war-backed crusade.

Ignorance of science and nuclear energy lead to acceptance of extreme dangers that the media routinely under-play.

Oh, but that happens continuously in the normal operation of a coal plant.

use the same list to let those reps know.

Sounds good to me.

The fossil fuel industries are killing the planet.
