Demystifying nuclear power is taking a critical look at nuclear power generation, a manipulative industry with seedy ties to government entities such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in the United States and the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) in Japan. By uncovering nuclear industry lies, demystifying nuclear power reveals the danger of nuclear waste and radiation from atomic energy to people’s health and the environment worldwide. Growing solar and renewable energy technology is a cost effective, carbon-free solution for our energy future that provides safer and cleaner power production than nuclear energy.
“Hurricane Season Is Here: Are You Prepared?”
That’s the title of a flyer we received at the Fairewinds office in Charleston, South Carolina. It was from a local emergency preparedness organization. Yes, hurricane season is upon us…

Read MoreFor several decades, electric energy visionaries like Amory Lovins foresaw a future that was powered by energy from the sun and wind. The electric power industry claimed that electric generation corporations needed what the industry calls ‘baseload’ power from CONG (coal, oil, nuclear, and gas) for the times when the sun does not shine and the wind does not blow. It turned out that the visionaries like Amory were correct!
Read MoreThe once pristine watershed of the Great Lakes is now home to 30 nuclear power reactors. Several temporary nuclear waste storage sites on Lake Huron near the Bruce site are in imminent danger of becoming permanent nuclear waste dumps that will be abandoned underground within one mile of the Lake.
