Hello... This is not a diary. Just a hi and a Q&A
I was inspired to create this group - my first group here - because of how important I feel it is that, in our desperation with global warming looming ever closer, that we don't buy into the multinational corporate memes that nuclear power is getting better and better every day; we heard that in the 1950's too. Frankly, our Nation is desperate for solutions for global warming and has been entertaining some dark thoughts again, thoughts of expanding nuclear power use.
Follow Nuclear Free DK here.
There are over 400 nuclear power plants in the world now.
There are plans for another 150-odd.
60 alone are currently under construction
But today, the Government's of India and China, who house the majority of these plants, said they wanted to now reevaluate, that perhaps nuclear power wasn't so safe in the wake of Fukushima.
Today, the largest German newspaper, Der Spiegel, announced that it was the end of the nuclear age. A renaissance, really, post-Chernobyl, which we should not have forgotten.
--> Sorry that this rambles. It was written very late into the night. My mind was half here at best. Still, the interest has shown to be quite inspiring. This is good to see.
So I make this series as a place for those who oppose nuclear power, or seek other viable, sustainable energy solutions. I'm very flex and want to see what happens. Click the little heart next to the word "follow" to read it. To contribute, send me a p/m.
But we can do a lot with this if we care to.
Lets remain civil. This is a contentious issue for many, even those sometimes on our own side can get put off by certain tones, and sometimes a lack thereof. Therefore honest communication, in good faith, is absolutely essential so that we might meet our goals.
And we should start planning some. Goals, that is. We should be writing. Fast. Furious. We should stand together.
There's never a better time than the present. Although the past wasn't too bad of a time either ;)
This site finally has the type of tools I'd hopped for, to organize all kinds of things.
Consider this your meet and greet diary for this group. Ask me Q's, or of one another. I'll check in tomorrow early (briefly) and then again in the evening. Invite anyone else you think would be interested too. And if you weren't invited and are wondering why, I'm sure it was oversight. You can easily follow and contribute to the Nuclear Free DK. Let me know if you have a piece of writing to submit. Also, let me know if you'd care to be a co-admin; I'm a busy gal and could use on of these.
Thanks for stopping by! Unsure if, when I hit publish this goes up like a real diary... or whether it just goes to the group. Sorry if it hits the main feed. Or maybe I'm not.
Nuclear Free DK, signing over and out... & off to hit the hay. Talk freely amongst yourselves :)
