color=#ffff00 size=2>My talk will acknowledge some of the worlds major
heroes of the Renewable Energy movement like the German Economist and
Parliamentarian Hermann Scheer, whose brilliant and tireless work over three
decades helped make Germany the world leader of renewable energy. I will also
discuss two whistleblowers. Great Britain's physician and epidemiologist
Alice Stewart, recipient of the Right Livelihood Award brought worldwide
attention to the health effects of low-level radiation in an acclaimed study
released in 1957 . University of Berkley Professor John Gofman, who began his
career with the Manhattan Project and later jumped the fence and devoted the
rest of his life tirelessly opposing nuclear power. He publishing numerous books
and articles and testified to Congress about the catastrophic dangers of the
regular releases of radiation from the nuclear power industry that will be
remain as a toxic burden on thousands of future generations. </FONT></DIV>

the nuclear power industry that has stopped any new nuclear power plant from
being built since 1973. I will talk about the corporate and governmental
economic incentives and lobbying campaigns to promote a nuclear renaissance
that, if funded to the tune of $54 billion as proposed by the Obama
administration, could bring us another financial disaster and put the brakes on
subsidies for the existing technologies of wind, solar and efficiencies
that we need subsidize to give us the carbon/free and nuclear/free energies we
need to achieve a vibrant and sustainable economy with zero-CO2 emissions in the

plea for radiation shield <BR>By Shaun Walker in Chernobyl<BR>Monday, 28
February 2011 <BR><BR><BR>Fears that the destroyed nuclear reactor at Chernobyl
could collapse and again leak deadly radiation have prompted European agencies
to seek hundreds of millions of pounds to fund the construction of a vast steel
building to encase the site.<BR>As the 25th anniversary of the worst nuclear
accident in history approaches, there is a funding shortfall of €740m (£631m)
for projects to build a "shelter" over the destroyed reactor and to safely store
nuclear fuel from the other nuclear reactors at the site.<BR><BR>The new shelter
for the destroyed reactor is being funded by the European Union and the European
Bank for Reconstruction and Development in co-operation with the Ukrainian
government, but European officials say they urgently need countries to pledge
money for the project, which is under way but underfunded. They hope that a
conference in April, ahead of the anniversary of the disaster, will see
governments donate the missing funds. <BR><BR>Jean-Paul Joulia, the head of the
EU's Nuclear Safety Unit, said during a visit to the site last week that the EU
had contributed about €500m to various projects at Chernobyl, more than half of
that for the new shelter. The alliance is now hoping that individual European
governments, and Russia, will stump up more cash for the project. <BR><BR>The
explosion at Chernobyl's Reactor Number Four occurred on 26 April 1986. About 30
people were killed instantly, and it is estimated that another 4,000 died
prematurely in the aftermath, while many more still suffer health effects from
the radiation. In the months after the accident, a "sarcophagus" of concrete was
hastily erected over the destroyed shell of the reactor, with many of the
workers involved being subjected to life-threatening doses of radiation to get
the work done. <BR><BR>In recent years, the structure has become extremely
unstable, with experts warning that if it collapses, a catastrophic amount of
radiation could be released into the atmosphere. Stopgap stabilising work on one
of the walls of the sarcophagus has reduced the chances of collapse and extended
its life by around 15 years, but this might not be enough to prevent a
disaster.<BR><BR>...Even today, there is a 20-mile "exclusion zone" around the
Chernobyl power plant where inhabitation is prohibited. The other reactors at
Chernobyl remained in use until 2000.<BR><BR>Mr Dodd said that once the shelter
was in place, work would begin using cranes and other automated technology to
dismantle the old reactor inside. He said human intervention would be kept to a
"strict minimum" but admitted that some people would nevertheless be subjected
to dangerous doses of radiation. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>
<P><FONT color=#ffffff size=2>...Vermont Yankee is a case in point. Soon after
Entergy purchased the plant, they pushed for an "uprate," meaning that Vermont
Yankee has been operating at 120 percent of its intended capacity to produce
power. In this time, we have seen the cooling tower collapse, the leak of
radioactive water from a crumbling underground piping system, a condenser that
needs a very expensive replacement, and countless other problems. This plant has
the potential for a catastrophic event.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#ffffff size=2>The huge volume of highly toxic radioactive waste
on the shores of the Connecticut River is another potential source of a massive
environmental disaster. Many areas have seen 100- or even 500-year flood events
as climate changes occur and water levels rise. Do we have any assurance that
the "temporary" storage for the tons of the most toxic substance on earth will
never get into the river water in the case of submersion?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#ffffff size=2>The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is supposed to
have the exclusive right to monitor safety issues at nuclear plants. We are not
comforted by the fact that they only seem to regulate after something bad
happens, and then the regulation consists of hollow words. The operating license
of Vermont Yankee describes how the plant will not release unmonitored
discharges of radioactive water. Yet when Vermont Yankee and other plants do
just that, there are no negative consequences except when they are caught and
exposed by concerned citizens and the media.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><FONT color=#ffffff>Let us learn from the nightmare unfolding in
the Gulf of Mexico. We do not need to endanger the future of our children and
our planet to power our lifestyles. Our society can make a decision to use power
that does not threaten whole species, the oceans, the air we breathe, the soil
in which we grow our food, and the rivers that sustain life. Even if the entire
United States is slow to grasp this, the people of Vermont can and must repower
our state and lead the way. </FONT><FONT color=#00ffff><STRONG>We can use solar,
wind, hydropower, and conservation and successfully shut down Vermont Yankee
before we live through another disaster that defines the folly of nuclear
power.</STRONG></FONT></FONT></P>
