Nuclear power (“New plant considered for Kewaunee location,” Sept. 23, 2005)!

Are you kidding me? There are so many things that are impractical, dangerous and morally reprehensible about this proposal.

Consider: The climate crisis demands swift action and an immediate shift to renewable energy, whereas nuclear power takes years to come online, it is very expensive and there is still no solution to the radioactive waste. Investing in nuclear power takes money and expertise away from the rapidly growing field of renewable energy.

Meanwhile, solar, wind and battery storage technology are growing by leaps and bounds around the planet. It is not only the energy future but the most viable option today.

Please, let’s not cook our children and grandchildren!
