Demystifying nuclear power is taking a critical look at nuclear power generation, a manipulative industry with seedy ties to government entities such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in the United States and the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) in Japan. By uncovering nuclear industry lies, demystifying nuclear power reveals the danger of nuclear waste and radiation from atomic energy to people’s health and the environment worldwide. Growing solar and renewable energy technology is a cost effective, carbon-free solution for our energy future that provides safer and cleaner power production than nuclear energy.

Read MoreRecently, after Forbes Magazine published an opinion piece entitled, It Sounds Crazy, But Fukushima, Chernobyl, And Three Mile Island Show Why Nuclear Is Inherently Safe, a number of Forbes’ readers called and continue to write Fairewinds Energy Education to ask us if this opinion piece is true. Quite frankly, the article is an infomercial for the nuclear industry: it twists data in order to paint a rosy picture of nuclear energy.
Read MoreToday we live in a world that pushes limits, even necessary ones. When it comes to fostering industrial and economic growth, we humans have the tendency to become blinded by the assurance of big business and lose sight of what is really at risk.
