PowerShift2007 "firmly against nuclear power"

From:
Josh Lynch

Hello Remy,

Thanks for getting in touch with Energy Action Coalition. We are firmly against nuclear power.

In our Youth Statement of Principles (http://www.climatechallenge.org/statement_of_principles), we state:

"A just climate and energy policy cannot rely on any forms of dirty energy such as so-called “clean coal” or nuclear power. We must recognize the disproportionate impact of global warming and dirty energy on low-income, people of color and indigenous communities and ensure a just transition that improves and supports their physical, social and economic health."

The goals of Power Shift are laid out here (http://www.powershift07.org/about). Power Shift is a unique opportunity for young people from all walks of life to have their voice be heard in the halls of Congress. Monday will be a lobby day on Capitol Hill during which we will be promoting the main asks in the Youth Statement of Principles and calling for bold solutions.
