Entergy Green Nuclear :: Point/CounterPoint

Above is a copy of the ad recently published by Entergy in many local New England newspapers in and around areas of the Vermont Yankee and Pilgrim nuclear power plants. It can be viewed legibly at this location. In response to this ad, the text below is being published in the Reformer newspaper in Brattleboro Vt.

VERMONT’S ENERGY FUTURE

IS
Solar Photovoltaics
Wind Power
Biomass
Geothermal
Cogeneration
Cow Power (Methane)
And Hydro.

IS
Efficiency and Conservation,
Yankee ingenuity and Self-reliance.

IS
Leading the way to a
responsible, safe,
secure, flexible,
and sustainable way of life.

IS
A common sense approach to reversing global warming
and climate disruption.

VERMONT’S ENERGY FUTURE

IS NOT
Nuclear power, the most toxic source of energy known to man,
and the single greatest threat to the economy, safety, and environment
of the region.

IS NOT
Routine emissions of ionizing radiation
that endanger us all.

IS NOT
Warning sirens, tone-alert weather radios
and unworkable evacuation plans.

IS NOT
Complicity in the manufacture of bomb-making plutonium
and depleted uranium weapons of mass destruction.

IS NOT
Adding more waste to a radioactive dump on the Connecticut River
that will be deadly for 10,000 generations.

IS NOT
Squandering money on a dying industry (despite the current surge) when
funds are needed
to develop honestly safe, clean, and reliable energies.

VERMONT’S ENERGY FUTURE?
Vermont’s decision, not Vermont Yankee’s
