Solartopia Green Power and Wellness Hour – 08.11.15

Posted on August 12, 2015 by Archivist in Green Power And Wellness

TOWARD A NON-NUCLEAR NEW ENGLAND!
To hear about SHUTTING NUKE POWER especially in New England we are joined by three great activists: SHEILA PARKS, DIANE TURCO and DEB KATZ.

All three have been fighting for years to close some of the world’s worst reactors.
Deb is a founder of the CITIZENS’ AWARENESS NETWORK which has been at the core of the successful movement to shut Vermont Yankee. As she points out, New England activists have won major victories not only at VY, but at Maine Yankee, Connecticut Yankee, Yankee Rowe, Seabrook 2, Millstone 1 and more.

Hebert introduces bill to remove Legislature’s power to vote on VY’s Certificate of Public Good

March 15, 2011 by VT Digger

There is a lesson for Americans in the Japanese nuclear crisis

March 15, 2011 by The Keene Sentinel

he Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s announcement that it has approved a 20-year license extension for the Vermont Yankee power plant came last week, one year before the plant’s current license expires.

Vermont Gov. Fights to Close Vermont Yankee, One of 23 U.S. Nuclear Power Facilities Nearly Identical to Failed Japanese Plant

March 15, 2011 by Democracy Now

One day before the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan and sparked a nuclear crisis, the U.S. Nuclear Regulator Commission announced it would renew the license for Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant. Vermont state legislators had voted to close the plant when its license expires in 2012.

End game for Vermont Yankee

March 14, 2011 by The Bennington Banner

Three months from now, Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee will be forced to make a fateful decision: whether to give in to the furious anti-nuclear campaign led for years by Vermont’s anti-nuclear new governor, and abandon a safe, reliable, low-cost, nuclear plant that generates about a third of Vermont’s electrical consumption.
