Dr. Conrad Miller will be on your radio and internet radio

Sunday Sept 21 2008 at both 11 AM and 10 PM Eastern Standard Time

on the Perspectives with Barry Shainbaum show.  The third edition

of Dr. Miller’s book The Most Important Issues Americans THINK They Know Enough About, which

will be available October 1st 2008, will hold many details of the

issues discussed during the show [link for you two

paragraphs below].  

Topics Of Interest Addressed On The Show

Is nuclear power really possibly green? 

Can we produce all the electricity for America's homes with wind or solar?

[The answer is yes, for both]

50% of USA non-organic sugar likely will become of the genetically

modified variety in 2008 if consumers don’t call Kellogg’s and all the

other potential mass users of this patented-sugar-beet-half of the granulated

sugar market to demand labelling.  You can go

to http://www.organicconsumers.org to perform your civic duty on this issue,

and see and/or download a colorful one page pamphlet facilitating awareness

and citizen activism.   

Are you aware of the North American Union and its being quietly laid

upon the foundation of NAFTA to override many safeguards and laws of

our three countries’ democracies [USA, Mexico, Canada] without any voting?  

If you’ve watched the Republican convention and heard John McCain, you know

about the urge to DRILL! BABY, DRILL! for oil offshore.  However,

the so-called ‘Gang of 10’ Senators in the US Senate who will be bringing

a New Energy Reform Act of 2008 bill/amendment up later this week (9-18/19-08) that

will back drilling for offshore oil, also have included provision(s) for

unlimited loan guarantees for nuclear power!  This is not being publicized.  

Wednesday Sept 17, 2008 is being organized as a ‘call-in day’ by

http://www.nirs.org for Americans to call their Senators at 1-202-224-3121

to say “no taxpayer loan guarantees for nuclear power.” [See NIRS alert 

on this issue right here on this website's home page.   Remember that in

June 2008 Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut tried to engineer

through $544 BILLION with a ‘B’ in subsidies for nuclear power.  USA budget

total is ~3 trillion dollars, or 3,000 (three thousand) billion dollars.

CALL  Your  Senators Today 1-202-224-3121

 Tell them each “No unlimited nuclear loan guarantees as proposed in  the

New Energy Reform Act of 2008.”  which will be introduced during this week.  May come as a bill in itself, or as an amendment to some bill, unknown as yet.  A very sneaky act to follow, not even a number on it yet, nor any publicity about it.

Here is more from the Nuclear Information & Resource Service (NIRS) – The main organizer of this ALL – important Call-In Day Sept 17, 2008.

GANG OF 10 BILL:

 BIGGEST GIVEAWAY TO NUCLEAR POWER INDUSTRY EVER

 

NATIONAL CALL-IN DAY: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17

 

This is it. In the mainstream media, the Gang of 10 (actually, now it’s the Gang of 20) energy bill is all about offshore oil drilling. And, to be sure, there’s lots of that in the bill, which is expected to come up in the Senate this week. But the bill would also be the biggest giveaway to the nuclear power industry ever.

 

Unlimited loan guarantees for construction of new atomic reactors. That’s right, unlimited. As much money—hundreds of billions of dollars–as everyone in the nuclear industry wants, when it wants, for as long as it wants.

 

I’m sure I don’t need to tell you how that would absolutely destroy our ability to effectively address the climate crisis and what a disaster that would be for our economy, for our nation, for our planet.  Plus, more radioactivity to leak into the environment, increase the likelihood of a nuclear accident, increase the amount of nuclear waste that we still do not know how to store safely.  Remember,  just one millionth of a gram of plutonium-239 can cause lung cancer.  With 454 grams in one pound, that means just one pound of plutonium-239 can cause 454 million lung cancers, and 20 pounds could lead to cancer occurring in every human being on Earth.  Each of our 104 nuclear plants produces 400-1000 pounds of plutonium each year.

 

How do these Senators think they can get away with this? Because they’re not hearing from enough of us, often enough. They think this is a popular stand. We all need to stand up now and be counted.

 

That’s why NIRS, Physicians for Social Responsibility and other national groups are putting out the word for a National Call-In Day to the Senate on Wednesday, September 17. We need at least 10,000 phone calls to the Senate on Wednesday. We need the phones there to be ringing non-stop from dawn to dusk. Will you help?

 

Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121

 

*Please call both of your Senators that day with a very simple message: Take taxpayer loan guarantees for nuclear power out of the Gang of 20 energy bill. (note: the bill does not yet have a number. It’s called the New Energy Reform Act of 2008, but everyone will know what you are talking about if you just say “Gang of 20 energy bill.”)

 

*Please forward this Alert to any and all of your mailing lists.

 

*Please print this Alert and take it to any public meetings and gather places you go to between now and Wednesday. Post it at food co-ops and other central locations.

 

*Please talk to your friends and colleagues, congregations this Sunday, PTAs next week. Spread the word.

 

*If you want to e-mail your Senators, please do (you can do so from this link; NIRS’ new e-mail-from-our-Alerts set-up still has some bugs, so we can’t quite offer that yet). But also call! It is important to keep those phones ringing all day long!

 

*Call even if you think your Senator(s) are hopeless. Everyone walking in the halls of the Senate should hear phones ringing everywhere, all day long.

 

We can’t let the nuclear industry get away with this. All that can stop it now are your actions. If we all just sit back and wait for someone else to take action, we will lose. If we all make those two calls—one to each Senator, and ask each of our friends and colleagues to make those two calls, we can show the Senate what the American people really think. And we can win.

 

It is up to each of us. It’s that simple, and that stark.

 

Please take five minutes to make two phone calls Wednesday. And please drop us an e-mail and let us know you called (we’ll be looking for 10,000 e-mails in our inbox by Thursday morning!).

 

Thank you for all that you do.

P.S. For those who want more information:

 

You can read a Physicians for Social Responsibility analysis of the nuclear provisions in the Gang of 20 energy bill here. The bill includes not just loan guarantees, but also more “risk insurance” for new nukes, construction of a reprocessing plant, and much more.

 

You can read a longer article on the issue I wrote for DailyKos here.

And if you haven’t done so yet, don’t forget to sign the statement on nuclear power and climate at www.nirs.org (but please don’t sign more than once!). If you’ve already signed, please ask your friends and colleagues to sign!

 

We’ve passed 7750 7830 7930 8,130 8,330, 8400, 8,630 signatures, let’s get to 10,000!
