Ann Coulter, New Canaan's Hag Skag Embarrassment

Just in time for her newest BOOK RELEASE, Ann (Potty Mouth) Coulter is at it again with a inflammatory remark about the Jews. What does this have to do with Nuclear...who knows, I just know the woman is offensive, and a major embarrassment to New Canaan, to the United States, and to blondes all around the world. Surely she could find a nice red ant hill to sit on for a few days?

Here is a good montage of some of her worst moments. Seriously folks, STOP BUYING HER BOOKS.

Time For Aging Reactor Communities To Use The 10 CFR Rules To Take Back The Regulatory Process From Nuclear Industry

This afternoon I used the NRC's Rules and Regulations to file a citizens Formal Petition For Rule Making (found here) in the hopes of righting the wrongs of the NRC's rubber stamping of all nuclear industry license renewal applications. With the score Nuclear Industry 50, and Host Communities 0, it is obvious that the nuclear industry now owns the regulatory framework, and it is our job to TAKE IT BACK. Properly Organized, the citizens who are opposed to these unsafe, aging and brittled reactors can use 10 CFR 2.206, 2.802 and 2.202 as a tool to level the playing field, and force the NRC to give us a fair, open, honest license renewal process that looks at all reactor safety and security issues, instead of only those issues the licensees want us to have a voice in.

My petition could be flatly rejected by the NRC, or they could give it a cursory look, run it through the process so it looks good, then ignoring public comments reject it...which is what I expect. ( Though 1,000's of public comments when it is released in the Federal Registry would make it a bit more difficult on them.)

However, the beauty of the Petition For Rule Making, is that any stakeholder (which in the case of nuclear energy is every human being residing in America) can file one. So, as Arlo Guthrie used to say sing in his infamous, "Alice's Restaurant", can you imagine if ten people a day filed a Petition For Rule Making with the NRC...they would think it was an organization. And could you imagine 100 people a day filing a Formal Petition For Rule Making with the NRC? (It's almost as simple as writing an email!) They would think it was a movement, and that is JUST WHAT I AM PROPOSING! A take back the regulatory process, and return NRC to a position of honesty and integrity MOVEMENT, and all your organization against wrongful relicensing needs to do to join, is to host a Petition For Rule Making party in a home or coffee shop in your own host community.

If only 100 people in 100 host communities filed their very own Petition For Rule Making, that would give the NRC over 10,000 bites at the apple to DO THE RIGHT THING when it comes to protecting human health and safety! Could you imagine what would happen if all reactor host communities embraced this strategy and got 1,000, or 10,000 citizens to file their own petitions for rule making?

Nothing any of us has done so far is working! The biggest win we have had is out in California with the Diablo court victory. Problem is, Neil Sheehan has already been quoted three different times stating he will ignore those court findings in the other 49 states! The NRC is intent at relicensing these reactors, no matter what a host communities objections or fears are, even if they are legitimate! Which means we need to CHANGE THE WAY THE GAME IS BEING PLAYED. 10 CFR's Rules For Rule Making that we have to start using in a very big way...the survival of our communities may depend on it, as the NRC is far to willing to play Russian Roulette with our lives if it will help them realize their dream of a Nuclear Renaissance.

Ecologist Magazine Weighs In the Nuclear Debate

The Nuclear Dossier: The Ultimate Guide

Yes it's expensive and clearly there is a problem with nuclear waste, but if it is the answer to climate change then why not?

Part 1: Building a Nuclear Power Station

All you need is a suitable location...

Part 2: Operation and Maintenance

While the world worries about a terrorist attack on a nuclear power station, industry chiefs have an even greater threat - staff boredom

Part 3: Licenced Emmisions and Controlled Releases

Stop worrying about major accidents such as Chernobyl, nuclear reactors legally emit radioactive particles that are causing clusters to erupt around the country

Part 4: Nuclear Waste: A problem that won't go away

5000 years ago the English Channel didn't exist - so where are we going to bury our nuclear waste that will be safe for up to one million years...or more?

Part 5: Decommissioning

Decommissioning has a ring of finality to it. But don't be fooled. A nuclear reactor will be standing for another 150 years before it is finally razed to the ground

Green Nuclear Butterfly Discussion Groups

GREEN Is Not NUCLEAR! Stop THE RAPE NOW!

Green Nuclear Butterfly is racing to catch up, as Entergy and the Pro-Nuclear scums have a huge jump on us...IE, George Bush has given the Nuclear Industry some 8 BILLION plus dollars in subsidies since he took office, and is pushing a DOE initiative called Nuclear 2010 which would eventually site over ONE HUNDRED NEW REACTORS in America, the lion's share of the costs paid for WITH OUR TAXES, though the Utility companies would keep 100 percent of the profits.

Citizens opposed to this Nuclear Proliferation, opposed to the RAPING OF OUR ENVIRONMENT, opposed to subsidizing a FAILING INDUSTRY need a place to post their own issues, to write their own concerns. Further, with the failing and decaying reactors at Entergy's Indian Point up for relicensing, we need space to ORGANIZE the fight to SHUT THEM DOWN.

To that end, Green Nuclear Butterfly is proud to announce the creation of two new discussion spaces on the web...our first is posted here, with a permanent link on the bottom of our blog. This group shall be open to ALL MEMBERS of the general public who are NOT EMPLOYED or in any way fiancially supported directly and/or indirectly by the Nuclear Industry, or our government, including but not limited to the DOE, NRC, and DOD, as all three of these Federal Agencies have a deplorable safety record, and a vested interest in perpetuating the crime that is the Nuclear Industry.

OUR FIRST NEW DISCUSSION Sign in>GROUP

Entergy Nuclear-Safe, Secure, ASLEEP

Sure gives credence to allegations that Entergy forces it's employees to work LONG HOURS with little rest.

We all know the propaganda slogan...Entergy Nuclear Plants are safe, secure and vital...are they really? According to a decision handed down by the NRC, seems like Entergy's slogan needs altered a bit to be Safe, Secure and Asleep, and safe and secure are up for some serious debate as well.

WASHINGTON, DC (ENS) — --> The Nuclear Regulatory Commission today proposed a $60,000 civil penalty for Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., for violations that occurred at the Pilgrim nuclear power plant on June 29, 2004 when a control room supervisor fell asleep in a chair while on duty.

After the NRC learned of the event, the agency’s Region I Office of Investigations began an investigation at the plant, which is located in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Investigators determined that the control room supervisor was asleep and therefore neither alert nor attentive to his duties. A reactor operator, observing the supervisor asleep, deliberately failed to take immediate actions to awaken him, inform appropriate site personnel and file a report on the event, investigators found.

The shift manager, "in careless disregard of requirements," the NRC said, failed to inform appropriate site personnel and file a report on the event.

To Defeat Your Enemy, Become Your Enemy... How Nuclear Industry is Trying To Steal GREEN MOVEMENT

Nuclear Plants...A Modern Day Holocaust Waiting To Happen... Could Your Community Be One of The Chosen Ones?

The 100 plus Nuclear Reactors in America are all old, aging, even decaying relics from a failed and dying industry, and Corporate Nuclear Energy Titans intend to change that by seeing the Nuclear Age here in America experience a renaissance. To accomplish this miracle though, they need the world's largest propaganda campaign to sell a dubious and skeptical public, especially in those communities they have targeted as the NEW HOSTS of these planned New Age Reactors...too do this, they have devised one of the most sinister plots since Hitler's Third Reich...they want to STEAL THE GREEN MOVEMENT and make it their own, all the while getting citizens to pay for it through MASSIVE subsidies compliments of our government and elected officials.

This effort to STEAL GREEN is being orchestrated by Entergy and a small group known as the Atlanta 7, or more formally by their coalition's less than original name of NuStart. Entergy who owns and operates 10 reactors wants more but decided they needed, before pushing for new reactors, to first lobby (K Street-Tom DeLay) for subsidies by tying Nuclear to the fledgling Hydrogen Economy! Though this blogger has not been able to figure out the list of lobbyists (hired guns) working for this vile and repugnant group of villains, we have learned they are being VERY SUCCESSFUL, as NuStart was successful in getting our elected officials to cough up HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS of OUR MONEY to support their research and cause. This fact is very alarming, as Entergy's original BLUE PRINT for this cloak and dagger rape of a nation was to EXTRACT FEDERAL DOLLARS to pay for their research and to RECRUIT the government in their campaign of deceit in selling host communities on the new plants economic benefits, while dismissing as minor any risks associated with these fatally flawed facilities, as Chernobyl has shown us. With reactors, contrary to this new effort to change the perceptions, we are playing Russian Roulette, with it not being a question of if, but rather when.

Entergy and NuStart are treading very carefully at the moment, knowing stealth is on their side. They have already successfully fleeced our pockets to the tune of over $200 MILLION dollars, with hopes of getting the 110th Congress to cough up EVEN MORE. They have recruited a power house Public Relations firm, and have been bringing on board some serious shills who are more than willing to sell their souls for the Gold Crowns King. Entergy is more than willing to toss about in exchange for absolute and complete loyalty to the cause...MAKE NUCLEAR GREEN. The co-founder of Greenpeace has co-oped his soul with former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman to create NUKE FRIENDLY juggernaut, "CASEnergy ", who has the website address by the way of http://www.cleansafeenergy.org as they work with the nuclear industry FOR A PRICE. If you visit this frightening site, you can see the roadmap to stealing the Green Movement right before your eyes. Pay close attention to their BUZZ words in the below quotes from their site's section about their coalition:

The Clean and Safe Energy Coalition (CASEnergy Coalition) is an important voice in the public dialogue over current and future energy needs, particularly in addressing how nuclear power can contribute to America’s energy security and economic growth.

The CASEnergy Coalition is a large grassroots coalition that united unlikely allies across the business, environmental, academic, consumer and labor community to support nuclear energy. We believe that nuclear energy can improve energy security, ensure clean air quality, and enhance the quality of life and economic well-being of all Americans. Through news conferences, media events, grassroots advocacy and issues education, the CASEnergy Coalition ensures that everyone from consumers to policymakers have the necessary tools to make sure they can make an informed decisions about nuclear energy.

Or this statement found on their Mission Statement Page:

MissionThe Clean and Safe Energy Coalition (CASEnergy Coalition) supports the increased use of nuclear energy to ensure an environmentally clean, safe, affordable and reliable supply of electricity. Nuclear power enhances America's energy security and economic growth, helps attain cleaner air and improves the quality of life, health and economic well-being for all Americans.

To complete their stable of Nationally Known Nuclear Rubberstampers, enter America's Mayor Rudi Giuliani and his newly formed CASH COW MONEY MACHINE, Giuliani Partners LLC. Give NuStart credit for their devious plan, as it could actually work if the green grassroots does not wake up to this incidious infiltration of our ranks. Entergy's willing partners, and the minions within the Pro Nuke Movement have a plan, and it is being implemented, their goal to see Anti Nuke's individuals, organizations and coalitions replaced with a Nuclear friendly surrogate, a new Earth Mother group of pretenders lead by Christine Whitman and her CASEnergy demon spawns as the slogan, "No Nukes" is replaced with "No CO2". In short, these folks want to convince us that the slight risks associated with a MELTDOWN, and Nuclear Weapons proliferation are minor inconveniences of Atomic Energy, and well worth their costs when compared to the catastrophic effects of Global Warming. Be Green, Go Nuclear is their chant of the day.

For those thinking this is all pie in sky rhetoric from an Anti Nuke Nut case, consider this...the folks at NuStart have already SETTLED on six potential HOST COMMUNITIES they intend to TARGET.

1. Port Gibson, Mississippi
2. St. Francisville, Louisiana
3. Lusby, Maryland
4. Scriba, New York
5. Aiken, South Carolina
6. Northeast Alabama

Its plan...push forward applications for AT LEAST TWO of these six sites, and make it easier for other utilities to FOLLOW SUIT in pushing through new licensing efforts for reactors. The plan is working, as both consortium and non-consortium members alike have begun the process of invading America's countryside with a whole new ARMY of nuclear reactors. Among some of those who have started the permitting process are Entergy at Grand Gulf, Exelon Generation in Clinton, Illinois. Also in process we have Dominion Nuclear -- which is not a member of NuStart -- at its North Anna plant in Virginia. Thinking of jumping into the fray is Duke Energy of Charlotte, North Carolina. Each of these sites conveniently would use the reactor designs paid for with OUR TAX DOLLARS, but owned by the NuStart Consortium of PLANET RAPERS. (whoops...too harsh? Should I tone that statement down so as not to offend Entergy officials?) Though NuStart has already reached DEEP INTO OUR POCKETS for over $200 MILLION in Federal Government incentives, the reader should know, that all these players have stated for the record, that they need CONGRESS to continue subsidizing their costs of construction if these PROPOSED REACTORS are going to become reality.

To destroy your enemy, you have to know your enemy, and the GREEN MOVEMENT had best wake up, as we are under the microscope, and about to be dissected and destroyed by the Nuclear Industry as they strip off our skin and make it their own.

As UK Nuclear Goes, So Goes America... The Deceit of Pro Nuclear Forces

Contaminated Vehicles Waiting Burial After Chernobyl.

Imagine a governmental agency (such as the NRC?) drawing up plans to squash, quell any and all green opposition to burying Nuclear Waste and building NEW REACTORS. Launching a covert operation to launch false support by using third parties to bring pressure on certain key committees who are investigating certain key issues in the process. Enlisting politicians sympathetic to their cause (uhhh...like Rudi Guiliani and Christine Todd Whitman?) while attempting to isolate those who are not (such as Congressmen Hinchey and Hall?). Just such a devious plan was created, implemented and uncovered in England, and the foot prints here in America lead any anal retentive chimp tripping on LSD, let alone a reasonable thinking person to believe that the Nuclear Industry here in America is using even more devious efforts in trying to turn public tide in favor of more reactors, in favor of Yucca Mountain as a DUMP SITE.

First, for years the nuclear industry and our taxes have supported all kinds of pro-nuclear organizations, non-profit even quasi government groups that get hand picked to do supposedly impartial investigations, even play key roles in the supposed force on force (MOCK) tests at nuclear facilities. Take a look at NEI, their relationship with the Nuclear Industry, their incestuous relationship with the NRC, and you'll find some very disturbing trends, such as their ability to funnel crucial advance information to the owners of nuclear facilities before every force on force test at a Nuclear Reactor...can hear NEI protesting now, "BUT we would never do that." Funny, can NEI and/or the NRC share with us who is in charge of the security forces CHOSEN to be the mock attackers? Talk about a CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

Wells' comments also suggested a potential conflict of interest in how simulations of terrorist attacks are conducted. The potential conflict arises, he stated, from the fact the NRC is considering hiring the "terrorist" impersonators from a firm that was selected by the nuclear industry's own trade association, the Nuclear Energy Institute, and that already provides security guards to half the plants where such exercises are to be conducted.

Then, they need some friendly face, so they buy them...what a better person to embrace Entergy's relicensing than Rudi, America's Mayor? They have supposed GREEN FOLK who, for a price, have sold their souls to the beast, including disgraced co-founder of Green Peace, and Christine Todd Whitman who has created a special group to line her pockets with GOLD, or is that the proverbial 35 pieces of silver? Think about it, the perfect Three Stooges poster children of the nuclear PR campaign to GREEN THEIR DEATH TRAPS. A Former EPA Head and a Greenpeace Co-Founder Lead a New Coalition Promoting Nuclear Energy in the U.S. Add in a touch of RUDI, and stir lightly.


There are other devious steps being taken as well. Entergy will want to deny it, but they have harnessed their entire WORK FORCE as a Pro-Nuclear Burning Grassroots Army of vapid pro nuclear attack rats. They have their employees (the brighter ones) writing letters to the editor, and tracking the Anti-Nuke's online, leaping on almost every post we put up, poking fun at us on their I POD radio shows distributed to the folks within the industry...in short, targeting us.

Others are organized to show up at every public protest against Nuclear with their own banners and signs produced by and paid for with Entergy DOLLARS...in short, they are creating a false facade of public support by using their employees, their employees spouses and children as SHIELDS, much the way Hezbollah hides behind and uses the populace as human shields for their terrorist attacks. What once was suspected can now be proved, as Entergy won a FIRST TIME award for their efforts just last year...we happened to stumble across their press release on it. Couple this with their attempts to spread money around to win support...IE, their financial backing of the Paramont Theatre in Peekskill, and you have an industry trying to buy RELICENSING, BUY the new licenses needed to build a whole new army of reactors such as the one Entergy and GE are now trying to push through down in Louisiana.

If Rosie O'Donnell thinks Donald Trump is a snake oil salesman, she should spend some time researching the executives at almost any company involved in perpetuating, supporting and embracing Nuclear Energy as a GREEN FRIENDLY industry, as it is a LIE. Flim Flam artists and industry shills such as Christine Todd Whitman and Rudi Guiliani who have sold their souls for a golden parachute should be ashamed of themselves...people that should be standing staunchly behind CLOSING INDIAN POINT have become traitors to justice, human safety and our environment. Problem is, just like in England, your industry can run, but it cannot hide as we will dig, we will search, and we will EXPOSE the truth, as we are The Green Nuclear Butterfly. WOW...flashbacks of Muhammad Ali, we float like a butterfly but sting like a bee.

Then we have the entire Nuclear Industry getting nostalgic and going back to the early days of the industry and borrowing a page from history...in short, they are TEAMING TOGETHER, spreading the costs and risks of a whole new line of reactors. They are trying to attach these new reactors to the GREEN MOVEMENT by presenting them as the birth mothers and driving force of a whole new Hydrogen green movement, and all the while quietly lining up GOVERNMENTAL FINANCIAL support to subsidize the industry and their new reactors...that's right, LETS GET THEIR TAXES TO BUILD OUR REACTORS, or at least to offset a great deal of the costs. Your a shrewd one Mr. Grinch, I'll give you that!

Revealed: the nuclear waste agencys undercover plans
The Sunday Herald, 14 May 2006
By Paul Hutcheon, Scottish Political Editor

A covert campaign to ensure that opposition to burying waste was overcome has angered anti-nuclear groups and raised questions about the tactics of a government agency.

Plans to launch a covert campaign to overturn sustained opposition to burying nuclear waste and pave the way for a new generation of nuclear power stations were drawn up by a government agency, it has been revealed.

The proposals included putting "third party pressure" on a separate government committee given the task of investigating the issue, "enlisting" politicians sympathetic to their cause and "isolating" those who were not.

Nirex, the government agency responsible for the disposal of radioactive waste, also produced a list of MPs, MSPs, civil servants and journalists to lobby about disposing the waste produced by nuclear power stations.

The agency has admitted drawing up the "media and public affairs strategy" but insists it was merely a draft put together by a junior member of staff and that some of the suggested tactics were not used.

The UK government-appointed Committee on Radioactive Waste Management (CoRWM) has accepted the Nirex proposals and overturned previous opposition to the burying of nuclear waste. Its recommendations are expected to be used by Tony Blair to support his plans for a revived nuclear power industry, which would have been held back because of uncertainty over how to deal with the waste.

The Target-Entergy's Indian Point. The Goal-SHUT IT DOWN.

This picture shows the power of death that is nuclear power's legacy and truth.

First, welcome to, "Green Nuclear Butterfly", the proud sister site of, "Entergy Watch" and we are just as committed to the goal of shutting down Entergy's Indian Point, and exposing the TRUTH of the failed nuclear industry here in America as they are.

For those that have been around for a while...OK, for those of us as ancient as Methuselah, being green was/is synonymous with being ANTI NUCLEAR. Let's not forget Three Mile Island, let us not forget DOWN WINDERS, and let's not forget Chernobyl. For decades, the Anti Nuke movement (of which Congressman John Hall was/is a part) has fought, held the line, and prepared for the fight that now is upon us. The line has been drawn in the sand for some time, and that line runs right through the site that is Indian Point.

Some have grown tired, gotten weary as the NRC has played games, used trickery, and waved rules in protecting their licensees instead of human health and the environment. In some ways, we, much like the Democrats have been out in the wilderness, fighting our own demons, trying to find that common ground where we can all stand as one, uniting in one common cause...that cause is the closure of Indian Point.

Some will try to dishearten the masses, stop us from rising up, tell us we have no chance to win. Those same game players within the industry are the same kind of villains that said Congressman John Hall had no chance against Sue Kelly. However, the grassroots believed in him, and believed in our cause...through out the spring, summer and fall we as one stood strong, never gave up the fight, even though the odds were against us. We were out financed, out gunned, and the Republican Sue Kelly's war machine pulled out every trick, including robo callers in the closing days of the campaign, but we stood firm in our faith, we never gave up. In the November Election we proved the Naysayers wrong, showed that RIGHT can win against might.

It is now time for that same faith and dedication to rise within the grassroots sector of the Environmental Movement. Riverkeeper raises millions, yet where is their march to close Indian Point, where are the protests in front of every gate of the facility? The old saying says, lead, follow, or get out of the way...the time has come for groups like the Sierra Club, Riverkeeper and WISE/NIRS and all the other supposed Environmental groups need to take all that money they have been raising and step up as true leaders of a new movement, or they need to get out of our way and stop raising funds in the name of closing Indian Point. The days of quietly sitting in public meetings waiting for our two minutes in front of the microphone after Entergy and the NRC have monopolized the event by going first needs to be over. The time for sending comments and having FAX TREES has passed. We need protesters, we need marches, we need a human chain around the entire facility. In short, we need a paradigm shift in the ANTI NUKE MOVEMENT, as we have seen that being nice accomplishes NOTHING.

Our incoming Governor claims to be against Indian Point, and he is hereby challenged to put his actions where his mouth was...we want his support, and we want new laws enacted making it impossible for Entergy to re license these failing reactors. Maurice Hinchey is dedicated to closing down Indian Point, but he needs our help. So, we call on John Hall to step forward publicly, and state for the record that he will accept NOTHING SHORT of CLOSURE. Further, John Hall managed to pull together a whole lot of talent in the process of getting himself elected...we in the movement to shut down Indian Point challenge him to work with the people involved with Rock The Reactors to host a set of concerts aimed at bringing attention to these failing Entergy reactors at Indian Point. We call on him to use that same persuasion and dedication that got him elected to fight one last grand battle, standing side by side with those of us in the Anti Nuke movement.

We want investigations of the NRC, and their cozy relationship with licensees, we want an end to said regulatory agency's siding with licensees instead of taking the proper steps to protect human health and the environment. We want an end to back door deals that force communities to play host to facilities that would cause us to lose everything, including our lives if there is an incident. No more conveniently called Exclusionary Zones to hide licensee's accidents and mistakes. We want an independent prosecutor named to head up these investigations, and we want those found to be in violation of our laws PROSECUTED, imprisoned and fined. We want an end to a NRC that protects the financial interests of the company, while risking not only our financial interests, but our lives and our safety. Limiting the liability of companies running nuclear reactors is WRONG, and Price Waterhouse needs to be changed. Allowing companies running reactors to protect their financial interests by putting the reactors in separate, yet fully owned Limited Liability Corporations is WRONG. Using our taxes to SUBSIDIZE the industry (see Entergy's $300 MILLION in Community Block Grants as one example) is wrong.

We can do this, but it TAKES A MOVEMENT, and the Green Nuclear Butterfly Blog is going to work towards making that movement a reality. In this issue, there are only TWO SIDES, no fence sitters allowed. Further, those outside of our area who traditionally support the companies in the Nuclear Industry (Think NEI) should have no voice, as they DO NOT LIVE WITHIN THE CIRCLE OF DEATH and their hands so deeply entrenched in the industry's wallet makes them not only morally bankrupt, but means they have a huge conflict of interest.

In the days, weeks and months ahead, this blog will do everything it can to dig up the news the industry does not want America to see, and we will beat our drums of war, as the battle is upon us, and the time grows short...if Entergy is allowed to re license these aging and decaying reactors, it is not a question of IF, but WHEN the accident will occur. When it occurs, hundreds of thousands of people in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut could die instantly, and millions more could die slow painful deaths from horrid life draining cancers. We must all unite behind this cause, we must reach deep inside ourselves to find the strength of will to DO WHATEVER IT TAKES to end the legacy that is Indian Point.
