The message that inspired the beginning of this blogspot

This blog and message was started and inspired by a conversation with respected Canadian energy visionary, Mr Greg Allen, the 2008 recipient of the respected City of Toronto Green Award. Those who have heard him speak, agree that he is indeed a "Green Guru." Well, we had the honour of hearing him speak about the future of global energy, oil, natural gas, solar, etc. Then Mr Allen made a sigh, and lamented that some politicians and media have effectively shut down the debate on the issue of an extensive $26 Billion program by the Government of Ontario and Canada for new nuclear energy plants. Mr Allen explained why he thought nuclear was dangerous, inefficient, and NOT even needed! This blogspot is our reaction to this news. A truth that various groups and organizations realized much earlier, and are trying to get out to the people!

We need to join together, to help outreach to the peoples of Toronto, Canada and the world.
Some politicians, bankers, governments and nuclear industry experts tell us that nuclear is safe, clean, cheap.

In 1976, the Three-Mile Island nuclear plant narrowly avoided a major disaster that would have released deadly radiation in the USA.

In 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear plant in the USSR, exposed over 500,000 people directly to radiation; and created a radioactive cloud that drifted across Sweden, France, and Europe, to North America, exposing millions more people... For the first few days, the government leaders of Russia, France and others even denied there was any radiation leak at all... until the media broke the story...
Nuclear is NOT green.
Nuclear is NOT economical.
Nuclear is NOT safe.

As Mr Allen notes, peoples of Canada and the world have the power to choose.

Nuclear power. Oil, natural gas. Wind, solar. Energy conservation. What is the truth? What is the future? As Mr Allen notes, mankind is at a great "fork in the road."

We have the power to choose. We must help get the message out. Help educate the people. We have the power to act --to stop new nuclear expansion. No nuclear energy now. We must act. For the sake of our own future and legacy, and that of our children, and world. If we choose wrongly; if we fail to act, civilization and humanity as we know it now, may end. The people of Ontario, Canada, and the world need to come together now.
