Say Goodbye to Nuclear Power

The horrific growing nuclear meltdown crisis in Japan is hopefully going to be the wake up call that we need to begin dismantling all of the nuclear reactors on the planet. Sustainable energy sources, like solar and wind, are now not only far cheaper than nuclear power, they are safe, clean and easy to repair when something goes wrong.

Patricia Lorenz, a nuclear campaign spokesperson based in Belgium, reiterated that the Japanese tragedy highlights the undeniable fact that:

“…no matter how prepared, there are risks with nuclear power, and the consequences of unpredictable events can have disastrous outcomes for people and planet. European leaders must take note of the growing nuclear crisis in Japan, and act now. Europe needs a phase-out plan for nuclear, and must open the way for safe solutions to climate change and energy security. The only safe and secure form of energy is that which harnesses clean, renewable resources, or the energy we save through increased energy efficiency. The catastrophic events in Japan are a clear signal that high risk reactors across Europe need to be shut down, and the process needs to start immediately.”
