Dear friend, Breaking news! A new report by economist and consumer advocate Dr. Mark Cooper shows that proposed subsidies for nuclear energy would undermine the goals of President Biden’s infrastructure and climate plans. ACT NOW: Tell the White House and Congress – don't sacrifice climate, jobs, and economy to nuclear bailouts! Proposals from the White House and Congress, such as Sen. Cardin’s (D-MD) S.2291, would invest up to $50 billion dollars in subsidies for aging, uneconomical nuclear power plants over the next decade. The best investment for climate, jobs, and the economy is in a rapid transition to a renewable, modern energy system, phasing out nuclear power along with fossil fuels. We can create a just, equitable, thriving economy and solve the climate crisis by investing in renewable energy and modernizing our electric grid, but not if we keep bailing out nuclear energy. This is why we are rallying a national movement of grassroots voices to tell Congress and the Biden Administration: “No Nuclear Bailouts in Clean Energy Plans – We Need 100% Renewable Energy by 2035!” Take action for a thriving, just, and equitable clean energy future! Send a message to your members of Congress, President Biden, and Vice-President Harris telling them to say NO to nuclear bailouts and YES to a prosperous economic future, climate action, and environmental justice. |
