2009 May 26: 5.37pm ET --"Peaceful" North Korean nuclear energy program shows that the world cannot throw open the door on new nuclear energy programs.
North Korea detonated a nuclear explosion --a blast that equalled the blasts that killed hundreds of thousands of people at Hiroshima and Nagaski, Japan, in 1945... Then for fun, North Korea lobbed a few more short-range missles, to show that they can!
To think that other nations won't follow this route?

Small big victory: Ontario Government delays nuclear decision
Small big victory: Ontario Government delays nuclear decision
2009 May 25. 3:16pm ET
Ontario Government delays nuclear decision. Congratulations to the concerned citizens and activists of Ontario, Canada and the world, whose political and public awareness campaign pressured the Government of Ontario, to delay --again!-- its commitment to spend $26 Billion on new nuclear energy power in Ontario, Canada!
The Ontario Government gives no explanation of their decision to delay.
We need to keep the pressure on! Nuclear is NOT green, is NOT safe, is not even cost-effective!
Since 2006, Ontario's energy needs have been dropping! Thus, many people say, that Ontario doesn't even need costly, dangerous nuclear power!

National Waste Management Organization has plan for safe nuclear fuel storage?! NWMO ad sounds like series of oxymorons that could destroy humanity?!

The National Waste Management Organization has plan for SAFE nuclear fuel storage?! NWMO ads in media sound like series of oxymorons that could destroy humanity --"safe" nuclear storage?!
With the threat of natural disasters and terrorism, where and what is a "safe" storage location and structure for nuclear fuel, and nuclear waste fuel? How can we safeguard radioactive "nuclear waste" for hundreds and thousands of years?! A single nuclear leak could enter the global air, and/or national ground water... Exaggeration, paranoia of anti-nuclear nuts...?! Government officials have admitted to these two very possibilities in the cases of Three-Mile Island, and Chernobyl. In fact, recent UK "leaks" of studies, show that many Brit UK farms and sheeps are today still scanned and rejected for sale, because of dangerous levels of radiation, caused by Chernobyl --in 1986!!!
These are some of the very issues that Mr Greg Allen and Ms Adriana Mugnatto-Hamu articulated in March 2009, that inspired our NoNuclearNow efforts, such as this very blog, and our history-making rally, to highlight anti-nuclear issues that are being suppressed by nuclear industry actions as this one by the "Nuclear Waste Management Organization." A half-page ad in today's Toronto Star, to seek a "fair process" to find a "community to host... safe containment and isolation of Canada's used nulcear feul for the long term..."
And what is the true costs of such facilities? How many billions of scarce, dwindling taxpayer dollars would have to be spent to design, build, maintain, safeguard these storge sites, against earthquake, terrorists... for centuries... ?! Is there really a plan?
Some anti-nuclear activists believe such "safe" nuclear waste sites cannot be achieved.
Look at the nuclear waste leaks we have today. Look at the very real fear by the governments of the USA and Britain, Germany, etc. that terrorists shall get nuclear weapons grade material from nuclear waste storage?!
One of the big concerns about nuclear energy power, of course, is the storage of the fuel, after it thas been used. This " fuel waste" may be radioactive for hundreds or thousands of years.
The nuclear industry is holding a series of information sessions to supposedly initiate dialogue, to create a fair process to identify a community to host such a "safe containment" area for Canada's nuclear waste...
We just discovered this "consultation process" in the newspaper. There are 6 such meetings in Ontario through May 2009. Toronto is May 21, Marriott Toronto Downtown.
Concerned citizens should attend. Is there time to organize anti-nuclear position and action around these meetings?
By the way, anti-nuclear activists are just exaggerating, paranoid?! Today's news, includes announcements that Canada's Chalk River nuclear reactors may have to be shut down again, due to problems. Last year, the reactors were shut down so long that the world's nuclear medicine supplies were so depleted, that tests and treatments needing nuclear isotopes were cancelled! So let's have a nuclear moratorium, before we build hundreds of new "SAFE" nuclear reactors; that have "safe" sites for nuclear waste --that is radioactive for hundreds of years...
We can NOT trust nuclear industry officials without true citizen and government review and cooperation. Concerned citizens must outreach now to the good people in government, public and media!

Global scramble stop dangerous, unnecessary nuclear energy
On April 2, 2009, with the great inspiration and efforts of people like Greg Allen, Adriana Mugnatto-Hamu, and Amy L, we organized a history-making rally, NoNuclearNow.
The rally was the first public rally in the world to ever take place in a pedestrian traffic intersection, "a scramble" intersection, that allowed rally supporters to occupy the centre of the intersection, and offer messages about the dangers and problems of nuclear energy. That nuclear is NOT green, NOT necessary, NOT safe...
Well, Ontario, Canada, and other political leaders, continue onto a new potentially deadly nuclear energy age. To get the attention of the people, media and political leaders of the world, NoNuclearNow is urging a global day against nuclear energy, a new nuclear moratorium, that resulted after the almost catatrophic nuclear disasters at Three-Mile Island, and Chernobyl!
Please join us, with your thoughts and support. More details to follow, in a global scramble to stop nuclear and save the world!
organized a rally, to highlight the dangers and anti-nuclear energy issues, as Ontario, Canada, ramps up to new nuclear age and $26 Billion nuclear spending program,

Ontario Green Party Leader, Frank de Jong, joins calls for nuclear companies to pay for budget overruns

Ontario Green Party Leader, Frank de Jong, joins calls for nuclear companies to pay for budget overruns.
Interestingly, where governments have enacted laws that force companies building nuclear plants to carry the costs of their overruns, many nuclear companies abandon their plans to bid on new plants...
The logic of that is simple and inescapable... Some governments and the nuclear industry are hiding huge cost overruns in their public announcements and projections...
We need to get the word out. Support and contact politicians like Frank de Jong today!

Ontario, Canada moving closer to radioactive sheep!

Ontario, Canada moving closer to radioactive sheep!
Ontario, Canada is closer to committing $26 Billion (pre-HUGE cost overruns, no doubt) to new nuclear energy power plants. Is there hope to "stop the madness?" Maybe. Some people, media and politicians in the UK are mobilizing, spreading the word about the truth of the dangers of nuclear energy power. In 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear plant exploded --a minor problem, compared to the disaster that emergency workers stopped! Chernobyl released radioactive dust, that governments called safe.
This month, May 2009, reports are coming out that some British farms and sheep are restricted and banned from sale!
And of course, not one sheep or fruit has entered the public food chain?!
This is a big opportunity. We have proven, easy-to-understand evidence of the dangers of modern nuclear energy power. We need to get the word out! Please help us stop the danger of radioactive sheep!
Funny imagery aside. Imagine a real scenario a la Chernobyl (which happened, pro-nuclear people!). If there was ever a nuclear "mishap" --a "minor" one, leaking radioactive material into the air, water of Ontario, or any major city or region of the world?! Ontario sits on the Great Lakes, the largest body of fresh water in the water... Ontario has the largest population of Canada. Ontario is one of the farm centres of Canada... Drop some radioactive dust into the air, the water table, the Great Lakes...

Fluffy British sheep may be a great symbol of our anti-nuclear efforts to reach the public and media, about the dangers of nuclear energy power!
NoNuclearNow.blogspot.com, at May 13, 2009. 11:27am ET
The fluffy sheep may be a symbol of our anti-nuclear efforts to reach the public and media, about the dangers of nuclear energy power!
Thanks to "climateark.com," we found an article from Guardian UK (see below to get web page citation), that there are STILL restrictions on British farms and sheep --restrictions imposed after the radioactive clouds from the Chernobyl nuclear energy reactor explosion, that drifted over parts of the UK, EU and North America in 1986. Yes, since 1986, the British Government has restricted farming use and sheep sales. Radioactive sheep! They are to this day, 2009, still finding and rejecting for sale, sheep that trigger high radioactive levels!
We at NoNuclearNow believe in public and media outreach and education. This issue could be the type of issue that we need in the anti-nuclear movement: "British radioactive sheep in 2009, caused by 1986 Chernobyl disaster." An issue that is simple, easy to understand and explain; an issue that resonates with the minds and hearts of "the people."
That's why we organized the "NoNuclearNow" rally on April 2, 2009. To raise awareness of the dangers of nuclear, we organized the world's first public rally in a pedestrian traffic scramble intersection. A simple, yet creative symbolic moment, to touch minds and hearts.
The British radioative sheep may be a great symbol of the dangers of nuclear?! Shall we name our nuclear sheep monster, "Dolly," like the Frankenstein clone monster of modern medicine?!
Please outreach and let people know: Radioactive farms and sheep exist today. Dangers of nuclear are real, today!
