VoteClimate2020.org in the Nuclear Hotseat & Nuclear Hostage Crisis
/By the Fairewinds Crew
Note: you will find the interview with Maggie Gundersen and Robert Manning beginning around the 30 minute mark.
This week, Fairewinds Energy Education founder, Maggie Gundersen, joined Robert Manning, founder and organizer of VoteClimate2020.org, on Nuclear Hotseat with host, Libbe HaLevy.
For more information, you can visit the Nuclear Hotseat website and read more about the work of Libbe HaLevy here.
Dinosaurs couldn’t vote. We can!
VoteClimate2020.org to prevent another mass extinction event.
Imagine if the dinosaurs had the opportunity to vote on whether or not the meteor or comet would hit the earth and end their lives forever. Unlike the dinosaurs, VoteClimate2020.org gives us the opportunity to stop an event that may destroy life as we know it on this planet.
Robert, Maggie, and Libbe discuss what makes the VoteClimate2020.org site unique. If you look at this from the perspective of your family: children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, or nieces and nephews on down, climate is the most serious obstacle anyone on the planet will face.
Fairewinds joined VoteClimate2020.org as an Alliance Member, because every day our work and research show just us how much Mother Earth is drastically changing our way of life. We have had people write to us and tell us that there is no such thing as climate change or global warming – and folks, global warming is not a phrase we use. We’re living in a climate crisis!
Robert and Maggie identify what makes VoteClimate2020.org unique. Unlike other climate voting-oriented websites, VoteClimate2020.org emphasizes that nuclear is not a feasible solution to the climate emergency. The only reason the nuclear power concept was part of last year’s green new deal is that the powerful nuclear industry lobby pulled out all the stops to get politicians on board.
Listen to the first part of Libbe HaLevy’s Nuclear Hotseat and hear the well-researched atomic power expose by Dave Kraft of NEIS (Nuclear Energy Information Service), entitled Exelon’s Nuclear Hostage Crisis Tactics Must End, published in the Chicago Tribune August 28, 2020.
Our lives and the lives in our communities are too valuable to wait 10 to 30 more years to get enough nuclear power onboard. With that being said, if nuclear energy was truly a part of the climate solution, that would mean we’d have to build 1 reactor every 12-days for 35-years for a mere 6% impact! That makes ZERO sense! Arnie wrote about this in a news analysis entitled: Nuclear Power Is Not “Green Energy”: It Is a Fount of Atomic Waste.
