Breaking News...Another Writer Joining Green Nuclear Butterfly

We are pleased to announce that Green Nuclear Butterfly will be annoucing the addition to our fine writing team of another heavy Anti Nuclear Hitter in the next few days...stay tuned for more details. Folks, we are GROWING!

On a more serious note...I am working on a few new articles here, and I would ask EVERY AMERICAN, every WORLD CITIZEN to give some serious thought to the Wall Street financial tragedy we have all watched over the past few weeks. Fact is, if we do not rein in the Nuclear Industry, if we do not say NO TO THEIR LOAN GUARANTEES, if we do not get the NRC and the IAEA to restrengthen the regulations they have WEAKENED year after year in their quest to keep this industry on LIFE SUPPORT, Wall Streets near collapse will look like a beautiful drive through the fall folliage as the leaves change.

Simply stated, we as a nation, and as a world are at GRAVE RISK as a result the IAEA and the NRC's lack oversight, and WEAKENED REGULATORY CONTROL. The IAEA is all but bankrupt, the NRC has admitted to a SEVERE shortage of qualified workers for this dying industry, and many regulations meant to protect Human Health and the Environment have been weakened to a point where America's 104 Nuclear Reactors are being run in an extremely unsafe manner, begging a cataclysmic accident that America and the World will never fully recover from.

The industry seeks literally TRILLIONS in the form of a bailout, labeling the taxpayer funded gifts as NECESSARY, claiming every penny will be returned to us...remember the promise of the nuclear industry...ENERGY SO CHEAP IT WILL NOT BE WORTH METERING. 50 years later, the industry cannot stand on its own, the industry has not disposed safely on one singular ounce of their waste streams. Because of the DOE and NRC's inability to figure out the science and technology necessary to build a long term storage facility, 104 nuclear reactor sites in America have become DEFACTO radioactive waste DUMP SITES, yet our government refuses to take action, refuses to be accountable to America's MAIN STREET citizens being forced to live on the edge of impending doom.

Both Presidential candidates (Obama and McCain) have delivered campaign trail rhetoric of new clean, green energy...problem is, nuclear is neither CLEAN, OR GREEN. We have a choice, but only if we make our voices heard. Imagine the giant forward strides that would occur if we took those TRILLIONS of dollars the nuclear industry wanted, and invested them in solar, wind, geo thermal and clean coal technolgies, research and implementation. If you are truly green, if you truly want to reverse global warming, if you want to leave this world a better place for your children and grand children, then the time has come to TAKE A STAND...say no to Nuclear Energy, say no to Nuclear Industry Bailouts, and say no too the Rubber Stamping of the NRC's License Renewal Application Process...fact is, by relicensing these aging, delapidated reactors, the NRC is playing Russian Roulette with our health, safety and financial well being.

Changes Coming To Green Nuclear Butterfly

As the screen shot below shows, the Green Nuclear Butterfly may be one of the most internationally read Anti Nuclear Blogs in the world with 99 Nations tuning in to see what the latest news is. Not bad for a small blog started back on December 26th, 2006. Yes, we have had our ups and downs, we have had a few times when we were AWOL for a couple months at a time, but we keep plugging away. As much as they hate to admit, the POWER BROKERS of the nuclear industry keep their eye on us, their ISP addresses routinely snagged, letting us know that the NRC, DOE, NEI and even the IAEA tracking what Royce Penstinger and Remy have to say. With summer over, with a true chance to deliver a CRIPPLING BLOW to the nuclear industry, I will be writing more frequently again. Further, we are looking for guest articles from any and all Anti Nuclear groups or individuals. If you would like to have one of your articles published on Green Nuclear Butterfly, if you would like to write a guest column on a regular basis please contact Sherwood Martinelli at smartinellighs@aol.com and we'll either post your article for you, or add you as a author of the blog.
