The Japanese radiation tragedy at Fukushima nuclear power station reminds us that Illinois is the most nuclear-reliant state in the U.S. We don’t have to be! Can we have a non-nuclear energy future in the U.S.? To quote a local, “Yes, we CAN!”

Despite 30 years of promises to build more renewable energy - which polls show 76% of the public support over new nuclear - Exelon, President Obama, Sens. Kirk and Durbin still talk “more nuclear”. Call them! Tell our rulers: It’s time to end the Nuclear Follies! No more nuclear power; build renewables!

Illinois has 4 reactors of the same design as those that blew up in Japan. Despite 30 years of promises to build more renewable energy - which polls show 76% of the public support over new nuclear - Exelon, President Obama, Sens. Kirk and Durbin still talk “more nuclear”.
