Dear President Obama,
I am writing to you because I believe it is a great mistake for you to give $54 billion loan guarantees to nuclear energy industries. You have been promoting "clean nuclear energy" but the only nuclear power I've heard of that is truly clean, renewable and safe is located 93 million miles away from earth. It is called the sun. Why not invest in harnessing the power of this fusion reactor through photovoltaics, solar, thermal, wind and biofuels?
Nuclear power plants are expensive to build and operate, fraught with waste, potential litigations, public health and environmental problems for generations to come. In addition, nuclear power plants are a national security risk because they are tempting terrorist targets. Who wants a nuclear power plant or nuclear waste in their backyard or on their highways? Even the Congressional Budget Office considers the "risk of default on such a loan guarantee to be very high -- well above 50%." Given the recent financial meltdown, don't you think we should be staying away from risky investments that jeopardize our tax dollars?
President Obama, please bring on the change we can really believe in. Nuclear power is not clean. Invest in truly safe, clean and renewable energy and help create green jobs. It's common sense!
Sincerely,
