‘San Andreas’ Blockbuster Has Huge Radioactive Omissions

‘San Andreas’ Blockbuster Has Huge Radioactive Omissions

Ok. So we don’t expect much from these mega-blockbuster disaster films. But maybe just a hint about reality could spice things up. At least maybe a passing acknowledgement that the actual San Andreas could turn the Diablo Canyon nukes into a seething heap of radioactive rubble and permanently irradiate all of California? Is that too […]

    36 Years of Three Mile Island’s Lethal Lies … and Still Counting

    36 Years of Three Mile Island’s Lethal Lies … and Still Counting

    The lies that killed people at Three Mile Island 36 years ago on March 28, 1979 are still being told at Chernobyl, Fukushima, Diablo Canyon, Davis-Besse … and at TMI itself. As the first major reactor accident that was made known to the public is sadly commemorated, and as the global nuclear industry collapses, let’s count […]

    Clever Interactive Video Encourages Americans to Join Renewable Energy Revolution

    Nuclear energy doesn’t produce the same climate change-driving carbon emissions as burning fossil fuels. That’s led to it being touted as a “clean energy” solution. But when a tsunami, triggered by a major earthquake, hit the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan four years ago tomorrow, triggering a meltdown of three of its six reactors and the […]

    Landmark Federal Court Decision: Will It Speed Diablo Nuke’s Demise?

    Landmark Federal Court Decision: Will It Speed Diablo Nuke’s Demise?

    New revelations about earthquake dangers have shaken the future of California’s Diablo Canyon nukes. In a rare move, Washington DC’s Federal U.S. Court of Appeals will hear a landmark challenge to their continued operation. California’s two remaining reactors are surrounded by more than a dozen seismic fault lines. The Shoreline fault runs within 600-700 yards […]

    Still No Solution to Storage of High-Level Radioactive Nuclear Waste

    Still No Solution to Storage of High-Level Radioactive Nuclear Waste

    A private consortium formed to deal with Europe’s most difficult nuclear waste at a site in Britain’s beautiful Lake District has been sacked by the British government because not sufficient progress has been made in making it safe. Highly radioactive waste, dangerous for as long as 200,000 years, has to be isolated and guarded in […]

    Ohio’s Anti-Green Suicide

    Ohio’s Anti-Green Suicide

    Swing state Ohio is plunging ever deeper into the fossil/nuke abyss. Its Public Utilities Commission may soon gouge the public for $3 billion (BILLION!) to subsidize two filthy 50-year-old coal burners and America’s most dangerous nuke. Approval would seal Ohio’s death notice. Ohioans speak out against the $3 billion bailout to subsidize coal plants and the […]
