Keep Colorado Nuclear Free
Thank you to everyone who has taken action and spread the word to oppose HB25-1040 "Adding Nuclear as a Clean Energy Resource." Despite hundreds of letters being sent and around 50 people testifying to oppose the bill, the bill unfortunately passed out of the House and is now on its way to the Senate Transportation & Energy Committee for a hearing on Monday March 10th at 1:30 PM. This gives us under 1 week to mobilize the major grassroots effort that is needed to stop this bill from passing its (likely final) committee hearing before it goes to the full Senate for a vote. This bill, if passed, would put nuclear in the same category as wind and solar energy, which would green-light the expansion of nuclear reactors across Colorado as part of the “clean-energy transition.” Nuclear power is anything but “clean”; it produces radioactive waste, relies on uranium mining, and puts frontline communities and workers at risk. If you agree that Colorado's energy transition should not include nuclear energy, please take the following actions to oppose this bill, and spread the word to your networks: |
