Don't Buy the Big Nuclear Lie- -Don't Pay for a Mistake

While activists have gotten Congress to pull loan guarantees from the major energy package, allies of the nuclear industry are already working other legislative avenues to get the loan guarantees written into law.

Under the guise of fighting global warming, the nuclear power industry and its allies in Congress are pushing a plan to construct the first new nuclear power plants in the U.S. in decades, and the plan's lynchpin is to make taxpayers the unwilling investors through federal loan guarantees.

In fact, nuclear industry experts agree that new plants won't get built unless taxpayers underwrite their loans, so we need to be loud and clear to Congress.

Please join us in keeping up the pressure. Millions of Americans don't want to underwrite a massive expansion of nuclear power, but they will need to make themselves heard if we are to defeat these loan guarantees and prevent new construction.

When you fill out the form below, you will be sending a message to your U.S. Senators and Representative urging opposition to any loan guarantees for nuclear power. Friends of the Earth will also deliver all of your signatures and messages to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
