Nuclear Power: No Solution to Climate Change
The Peace Resource Center has a long history of opposing nuclear weapons and nuclear power and counts the closing of San Onofre Nuclear Plant as one of its victories.
The nuclear power industry wants us to think nuclear is clean. It ignores the environmental devastation and terrible health effects of uranium mining, and the fact that there is no real solution to radioactive waste.
While most of the world’s people do not want more nuclear weapons, it’s not well known that the fuel for weapons is harvested from nuclear power plants.

Corporations Obstructed Climate Change Policy
Corporate influence, including lobbying of policy- makers, advertising, and PR has obstructed climate change legislation. One corporation, ExxonMobil, understood that its product would contribute significantly to climate change as early as 1977. The company’s response was a program of disinformation.
