EITHER WE STOP THE " CLEAN ENERGY " BANK OR WE GET DOZENS OF NEW NUCLEAR REACTORS WE CAN WIN THIS ONE: ACT NOW! May 14, 2009 Dear friends, We've asked a lot of you this past several months. As the Obama administration has moved into power, the pace of activity has increased; we know that. So we don't waste your time asking you to take actions that aren't meaningful. And right now, we're asking you to take the most important action of the year. Write your House member and Speaker Nancy Pelosi now. And then forward this message to everyone you can think of. _Write your House member here._ (http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2 & c=qBFtHXVY7ZgLZB8XTwVsEVlBV\ OFS1XGb) _Write Speaker Nancy Pelosi here._ (http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2 & c=/qTb8vOW3NNoEu2JIPpyHFlBV\ OFS1XGb) We should have figured it out earlier, but we didn't. The section in the bill was so obscure we all missed it. But the " Clean Energy Bank " legislation sponsored by Senate Energy Committee Chairman Jeff Bingaman and Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA) includes UNLIMITED taxpayer loan guarantees for construction of new nuclear reactors. Not $50 Billion, or $100 Billion. UNLIMITED! In other words, under the guise of a clean energy program, the nuclear power industry could get taxpayer money to build as many reactors as they wanted, regardless of their cost, regardless of their projected default rate. That's just unacceptable. We need to act on this as loudly and clearly as possible. Write your House member and Speaker Nancy Pelosi now. And then forward this message to everyone you can think of. _Write your House member here_ (http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2 & c=SdCbHKDATb9UoeYPoADxeFlBV\ OFS1XGb) . _Write Speaker Nancy Pelosi here._ (http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2 & c=Kcz3O4fwukkxx2cIF5cfPFlBV\ OFS1XGb) PLEASE forward this Alert to everyone you can think of. In 24 hours, we generated more than 3,000 letters in opposition to the pro-nuclear Murkowski amendment to the Senate energy bill. That's pretty good for one day, and we thank everyone who wrote (the Murkowski amendment has not yet been considered, it will likely come up next week). But we need to generate at least 10,000 letters to Pelosi and House members to stop this fake " clean energy " bank. Please help everyone you can think of to send letters now by forwarding this Alert. Phone calls to House members would be very effective too: 202-224-3121. _A NIRS blog posting on the " clean energy " bank is available here_ (http://org2.democrac yinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2 & c=WZaxxhJzKYAcIwPVMaInrllBVOFS1XGb) . It provides a lot more background info on this issue. You have our permission to re-post this everywhere and anywhere you want. Please do so. This really is it folks. The effectiveness of our actions now will determine our energy--and quite possibly our economic--future. There is just no reason for inaction; let's all do everything we can. Pass the word; send an e-mail to your friends, forward this Alert everywhere. Put in on Facebook and MySpace. Twitter it. Blog it. Print this and take it to meetings. Do whatever you can. We can't let this stand. And please send a few dollars our way. Every tax-deductible contribution you make enables us to reach more people, to expand our efforts, to build on what you already are doing. _We simply can't do this without your support, so please contribute here._ (http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2 & c=SqseQWZDTdpYcJwdcr9Q7Pnel\ x37cf0s) We need thousands and thousands of people responding to this Alert; please act, please do everything you can to expand our reach.
