Here is an important alert from Nuclear Information Resource Service
about efforts to give massive subsidies to "clean energy" efforts like
nuclear and "clean coal". Please contact your legislator and Nancy
Pelosi to remove taxpayer subsidies from these dirty and dangerous
industries and characterizing them as "clean energy".<br>
<br>
Links below are easy to follow, and it wouldn't hurt to send a hand
written letter or card in follow-up.<br>

<p>May 14, 2009</p>
<p>Dear friends,</p>
<p>We've
asked a lot of you this past several months. As the Obama
administration has moved into power, the pace of activity has
increased; we know that.</p>
<p>So we don't waste your time asking you to take
actions that aren't meaningful.</p>
<p><b>And right now, we're asking you to take the
most important action of the year.</b></p>
<p>Write your House member and Speaker Nancy Pelosi
now. And then forward this message to everyone you can think of.</p>
<p><b><a
href="http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=4cC4W0oZTXIEmQkIbDXs28p6wEETcb42">Write
your House member here.</a><br>
</b></p>
<p><a

Speaker Nancy Pelosi here.</b></a></p>
<p>We
should have figured it out earlier, but we didn't. The section in the
bill was so obscure we all missed it. But the "Clean Energy Bank"
legislation sponsored by Senate Energy Committee Chairman Jeff Bingaman
and Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA) includes <b>UNLIMITED</b> taxpayer loan
guarantees for construction of new nuclear reactors. Not $50 Billion,
or $100 Billion. <b>UNLIMITED!</b></p>
<p>In
other words, under the guise of a clean energy program, the nuclear
power industry could get taxpayer money to build as many reactors as
they wanted, regardless of their cost, regardless of their projected
default rate.</p>
<p>That's just unacceptable.</p>
<p>We need to act on this as loudly and clearly as
possible.</p>
<p>Write your House member and Speaker Nancy Pelosi
now. And then forward this message to everyone you can think of.</p>
<p><b><a

<p>PLEASE
forward this Alert to everyone you can think of. In 24 hours, we
generated more than 3,000 letters in opposition to the pro-nuclear
Murkowski amendment to the Senate energy bill. That's pretty good for
one day, and we thank everyone who wrote (the Murkowski amendment has
not yet been considered, it will likely come up next week). But we need
to generate at least 10,000 letters to Pelosi and House members to stop
this fake "clean energy" bank. Please help everyone you can think of to
send letters now by forwarding this Alert. Phone calls to House members
would be very effective too: 202-224-3121.</p>
<p><b><a

NIRS blog posting on the "clean energy" bank is available here</a>.</b>
It provides a lot more background info on this issue. You have our
permission to re-post this everywhere and anywhere you want. Please do
so.</p>
<p><b>This really is it folks.</b>
The effectiveness of our actions now will determine our energy--and
quite possibly our economic--future. There is just no reason for
inaction; let's all do everything we can.</p>
<p><b>Pass
the word; send an e-mail to your friends, forward this Alert
everywhere. Put in on Facebook and MySpace. Twitter it. Blog it. Print
this and take it to meetings. Do whatever you can. We can't let this
stand.</b></p>
<p>And please send
a few dollars our way. Every tax-deductible contribution you make
enables us to reach more people, to expand our efforts, to build on
what you already are doing. <a

simply can't do this without your support, so please contribute here.</b></a></p>
<p><b>We
need thousands and thousands of people responding to this Alert; please
act, please do everything you can to expand our reach.</b></p>
