QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Now she has risen into sight, our one familiar moon. A beautiful world
to our eyes, but cold and lifeless; without water or atmosphere she is a
presage of what Earth might become."
-- Jacquetta Hawkes

CANCER AND NUCLEAR WASTE -- IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD? According to
several independent studies, cancer mortality rates in counties with
nuclear reactors are significantly higher than in counties without
nuclear reactors. If nuclear reactors pose such a critical risk, do you
want nuclear waste transported through your neighborhood?
It just might happen. Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives voted
in favor of sending nuclear waste cross-country to Yucca Mountain,
Nevada. The mountain will become a national repository for high-level
radioactive waste. This risky plan would involve sending 77,000 tons
deadly material across 43 states via roads and rails to Nevada for over
30 years!
Even the government's own studies acknowledge that accidents involving
nuclear material are inevitable. Our senators can stop it!
