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.
More than 95% of the scientific community, as well as local community groups around the world, agree that the global climate crisis is real and imminent.
Read MoreFairewinds Energy Education firmly believes in the science of human induced climate change along with the vast majority of the scientific community and our scientific colleagues. Humans are rapidly changing the chemical composition of our atmosphere by releasing billions of metric tonnes of CO2, methane, and other greenhouse gases through our over reliance on fossil fuels and gross misuse of land.

According to scientists, in 100 years our house will be permanently flooded from rising sea levels due to climate change. Yet according to some politicians, South Carolinian and those on the national stage, there is no climate change here in South Carolina or anywhere in the world.
Read MoreDoes the nuclear industry’s latest claim that it is the world’s salvation from increasing levels of CO2 hold up under scrutiny? No! The evidence clearly shows that building new nukes will make global warming worse.
Read MoreEven as I write this, there is an effort underway in the nuclear power industry to revise the radiation story in order to allow for greater public exposure.
Read MoreNovember 2015 is an election month at many locations in the United States. Most Americans have seen the slick ads, paid for by the fossil fuel industry, urging voters to demand more and more dirty energy.
Personally, I’d like to see this message stripped of its cynical agenda and appropriated by clean energy advocates.
Read MoreNOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) reports that in March of this year, Planet Earth broke the all-time high record on carbon dioxide concentrations at 400 parts-per-million, leaving the most optimistic limit of 350 in the distant dust. It is an ominous landmark, to say the least, and there are constant reminders that something big and unpleasant is transforming the world around us.
