Ready for Vt Yankee to Close?
IN order to do this... much education is needed for individuals and groups north and west of Windham County VT. IN order to do this one has to want to...
are you one?
Now is the time.
If we do not do it now - the industry and Entergy will continue to run roughshod over the state regulatory Public Service Board... the NRC Nuclear Rgulatory Commission has already been bought and paid for by the industry...
There is hope... stay tuned...
Nuclear power is not vital to the energy supply. Nuclear power provides only about 17 percent of the world’s power supply.
The nuclear power industry has received $150 billion in tax subsidies from the federal government since 1947, while renewables have received only 5 billion — 1/30th of nuclear subsidies.
Between 1950 and 1998, the federal government spent 56 percent of the energy supply research and development on nuclear energy, while only 11 percent was invested in all renewable technologies.
The Oko Institute (Bonn, Germany (1997)) found that a nuclear power station of standard size (1250 MW) indirectly emits between 376 billion and 1300 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere per year — after taking into account the whole fuel-to-waste cycle. Compared to renewable energy, nuclear power releases four to five times more CO2 per unit of energy produced. (VY =650 MW)
The U.S. DOE’s Energy Information Administration stated in its 2005 Annual Energy Outlook “new [nuclear] plants are not expected to be economical.”
A November 2000 DOE study, titled Scenarios for a Clean Energy Future, found that energy efficiency and renewable power could meet 60 percent of the nation’s need for new power capacity over the next 20 years. A 2001 study conducted by the Safe Energy Communication Council (SECC), a policy watchdog coalition, found that energy efficiency could replace all the electricity currently supplied by nuclear power for the same cost as continuing to operate existing U.S. nuclear reactors.
A 2004 study by Synapse Energy Economics found that the U.S. could reduce carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation by more than 47 percent by 2025 compared to business as usual and meet projected electricity demand, while saving consumers $36 billion annually. In fact, we can do this while cutting our reliance on nuclear power by nearly half.
Please make sure this information is known by the people who make VT and US laws.
