Either help out and make a difference, or go cry in the corner by yourself. Don't try to bring the rest of us down.

If Japan’s damaged nuclear reactors continue to leak radiation into the air and oceans, many exporting industries may be damaged by radiation contamination. For example fishing industries. How far will millions of gallons of radioactive water travel dumped from damaged Japanese reactors? Will Radioactive Fish migrate to other nation’s waters affecting other countries? One can foresee grocery store and seafood restaurant customers checking purchased seafood with a Geiger counter. If Japan’s damaged nuclear reactors continue leaking radiation into the air, could over a period of time that cause dangerous levels of radiation to be absorbed by U.S. farm crops and cattle, making U.S. farm products unmarketable; cause U.S. food shortages and high prices. Could several of Japan’s industrial products become too radioactive to export? So much for clean nuclear energy.

In the U.S. most nuclear reactors have to be subsidized by taxpayers. When nuclear reactors leak as shown in Japan, it can be hugely expensive; unaffordable when damaged reactors melt down spreading high levels of radiation. In the U.S. too many nuclear reactors are close to large U.S. populations; 500 miles may be too close when communities are downwind. In addition to catastrophic health costs, a leaking reactor can contaminate for decades and longer large geographic areas, destroying real estate values of entire cities, shutdown industries. The potential risks of operating or building more nuclear reactors in the U.S. can’t be justified considering their catastrophic downside. The U.S. has approximately 104 nuclear reactors. From a military standpoint, U.S. enemies would only need target several U.S. nuclear reactors to spread deadly radiation to large cities crippling America. Nuclear reactors are a losing bet.

So the mighty PG&E is pulling yet another political ploy and has withdrawn their request for relicensing at this time. They were already requesting the renewal years before they needed to, playing their cards, hoping that the political climate was good for renewal. Then Fukushima happened. Just DAYS before the protest at Diablo Canyon, PG&E took it upon themselves to withdraw their request of the NRC to relicense them early (and without new earthquake studies!)
THIS PROTEST ON THE 16th, as announced above, is to demand the SHUT DOWN of Diablo Canyon.
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
