Dear NCR,
Please do your job of regulation, and help save the earth for our descendants!
The Indian Point nuclear plant has many environmental problems: (1) it pollutes the environment in the Hudson River and in Peekskill (the unofficial cancer rate is higher around here), (2) its waste pollutes the environment where it is disposed, (3) transportation of its waste is subject to accident which may pollute any area where such an accident might happen, (4) this plant is subject to terrorist tactics which may pollute or destroy the New York City area and 1/3 of Connecticut, (5) its waste contributes to the illegal arms that have been dropped on Iraq and other areas causing pollution and birth defects in those placesand also to our soldiers, (6) and this plant is on an earthquake fault line which may provide a future disaster.
The specific problem of the disposal of nuclear waste has two problems:(1) There is no place to store it. (2) Some of the waste was sold to weapons-makers to bomb Iraq at the expense of US taxpayers. War heads made with nuclear waste are disapproved by the UN as they penetrate further and destroy more homes and people than regular war heads. For more information on the manufacture and use of depleted uranium, contact <www.NoMoreDU.org>. Also
<NoMoreDU@earthlink.net>
What can you do to transform the world from a nuclear waste disposal site to a vibrant place to bring up children? Solar power has no nuclear waste. Wind power has no nuclear waste. Tidal power has no nuclear waste. Water power has no nuclear waste.
To change present procedures, those in positions of authority, like yourselves, could promote the manufacture of solar panels parts and wind turbine structures. You could change Indian Point into a wind turbine field. You could put solar panels on top of government buildings and other office buildings and even homes. Where can we get so much environmental equipment in a hurry? Job train the inmates in New York State prisons to manufacture solar panels and turbine structures. Turn the shell of the old prison on the SingSing grounds into a manufacturing plant. Turn other New York State prisons into manufacturing plants.
Leave the iron decaying dome with its damaged rusting ceiling there, as a gigantic memorial stupa for the Iraqi children and non-combatents who were killed by our nuclear-waste tipped bombs, and for those other Iraqis who are still being destroyed by fall-out from those weapons.
Who profits from nuclear power? Who is responsible for the nuclear waste used on warheads? All of us who use the electricity from this plant are guilty. We need forgiveness of our blindness. We must take positive actions to restore our country to wholeness.
