Fairewinds Energy Education Corp is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 2008. Its mission is to educate the public about nuclear power and other energy issues. Beginning in 2008, Fairewinds Energy Education Corp received several grants to study ongoing radioactive releases occurring at operating nuclear power plants in the US. Following the nuclear accident at the Japanese Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant site on March 11, 2011, Fairewinds Energy Education Corp received a grant to produce educational videos to help people around the world understand the truth about what happened at Fukushima Daiichi and the world-wide impact of this nuclear catastrophe that dwarfs Three Mile Island (TMI) and Chernobyl.
As of early 2012, our videos have received more than 7.5 million views, and Fairewinds Energy Education Corp began receiving donations to help sustain this work. Thanks to the talented efforts of an all-volunteer team, our website has also been translated to Japanese.
