This is our last chance to stop a nuclear future in the Philippines
The pushers of nuclear energy in congress want to vote on moving
forward with the revival of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP)
before congress closes in the first week of June, with the foolish
argument that the outdated and unsafe facility can address both climate
change and energy security.
The truth is you can't solve one problem by creating another.
Nuclear power is not the answer to climate change. Renewable energy
and energy efficiency deliver much larger reductions in carbon
emissions.
Nuclear power is dangerous. From the mining of
radioactive uranium fuel, to its transport and use for nuclear power,
and finally up to its disposal, nuclear power creates a radioactive and
toxic cycle, which up till now there are no solutions. o
Nuclear Power is expensive. Building, operating and maintaining nuclear
power plants cost more than most renewable energy and energy efficiency
technologies.
Nuclear power is not the solution. The key to
energy security and climate change is Renewable Energy and energy
efficiency. And the best thing about it is: we already have a renewable
energy law - so we don't need to revive outdated technology like the
BNPP!
We need to tell the congress we don't want nuclear power!
If you want to tell Congress that you don't want nuclear power sign in and we'll make sure your message is delivered.
Your voice and those of your family, friends and colleagues will count!
