Sept 10: Demand Clean Energy NOW! |

Written by Administrator

Tuesday, 19 August 2008 |

Let your voice be heard on September 10th against a massive rate hike to pay for new nuclear reactors in South Carolina!
Demand Clean Energy NOW!
WHAT: Attend the Public Service Commission hearing on interim site clearing & reactor construction by South Carolina Electric & Gas
WHEN: Wednesday, September 10, 12:30 p.m.
Price of New Reactors: over $6 billion per reactor, an increase in your energy rates, 35 million gallons of water per day per reactor, damage to the already impaired Broad River and tons of deadly high-level waste.
Alternative: SCE&G should be investing in energy conservation and efficiency projects, which would actually save rate payers money!!
This appeal is supported by Friends of The Earth-South Carolina, an intervenor in the hearing, and its partners across the state and region. For more information contact Sara Tansey at 843.305.0490 or at

Union of Concerned Scientists nuke ad draws ire |

Tuesday, 19 August 2008 |
Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (we are a member organization) can use your help in highlighting an emerging news story about ads the Union of Concerned Scientists placed in the Minneapolis and Denver airports (sites of the upcoming political conventions) calling on the presidential candidates to reduce the nuclear threat.
Clear Channel, the agency that manages the ad space, has agreed to a request from Northwest Airlines to take down the Minneapolis ad because, the airlines claims, the ad is "anti-McCain." (The Minneapolis ad mentions McCain, the Denver one Obama.) We'd like to draw more attention to the issue, and you can help.
Go to the link below, register for the site and click on the "digg" button near the headline for this story.
Digg is a popular news aggregation site that can help spread our message. Clicking on the "digg" button will promote the story to the Web site's front page, where thousands of people will see it.

Sunday, 17 August 2008 |
Master drummer, Amara Camara, will be teaching drum lessons on Sunday afternoons from 2:30-3:30 pm at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Columbia. The cost is $10 per class, $8 for students. Beautiful West African drums are provided. The drum classes/drum circle are so much fun! You do not have to commit to a certain number of classes - just let us know if you are coming so we can have a drum there for you.
Those who want to observe class are welcome.
In addition, West African dance classes will be taught from 4-5:30 pm. Dancers will be accompanied by traditional West African drumming. The classes are geared for all levels to grasp and understand. The cost is $10 per class, $8 for students. Experience the rich culture of West Africa in dance and drum!
If you have questions about any of the classes, please contact Toni Jones at 260-6486 or by email at

.
The money from the classes will be used to buy rice for the people of the Ratoma neighborhood in Conakry, Guinea, West Africa. The people of Guinea have a vibrant artistic culture that they enjoy sharing with others. Unfortunately, Guinea is one of the poorest countries in Africa, where people live on less than $1 per day. With the worldwide rise in fuel prices, many Guinea families now eat only every other day.
Come to drum class today and be energized by this beautiful musical tradition while helping our brothers and sisters in West Africa.

New Nukes Not Ready for Prime Time |
|
Written by Harvey Wasserman
|
|
Friday, 25 July 2008 |
A devastating blow to the much-hyped revival of atomic power has been delivered by an unlikely source---the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The NRC says the "standardized" designs on which the entire premise of returning nuclear power to center stage is based have massive holes in them, and may not be ready for approval for years to come.
