No to Nuclear Yes to proven renewables by Valdi Weiderpass

Meeting NY State’s ambitious climate targets under the CLCPA are a difficult but necessary task that is important because our state’s economy is the tenth largest in the world if it was ranked as a separate country.  What NY State does is important in inspiring other states and nations to do their part, as they see us doing our part to save a habitable climate. I encourage NYSERDA, DEC and PSC as well as other state agencies and officials to ignore the federal subsidies that are offered for nuclear energy, and instead listen to the Climate Action Council (CAC) and environmental organizations to follow and accelerate the path toward an electrified economy based on renewable energy that was laid out in the CAC’s Scoping Plan .  Nuclear power is risky, dangerous, very expensive, and too slow to implement to be a viable climate solution.

Move Out Project

Did you know that the Susquehanna Group manages a volunteer project called the Move Out Project (MOP)? Every spring we collect thousands of unwanted items from college students moving out of town and redistribute those items back into the community! Check out the MOP website at www.moveoutproject.org .
