International Poster
Campaign "Shut Down Nuclear Power Plants" - The international
poster campaign of IPPNW (International Physicians for the Prevention
of Nuclear War), EUROSOLAR (European Association for Renewable Energy)
and WISE International (World Information Service on Nuclear Energy).
The statements on these posters against nuclear power are enhanced by
pithy and catchy designs. With these you can put forward powerful arguments
in discussions with friends, colleagues or advocates of nuclear power.
Are you puzzled by the rapid shift nuclear power has made from financial albatross to the supposedly nimble solution to all of the United State's energy woes? Confused by the claims that nuclear energy's poor economics has somehow been reversed? Wowed by the spin and polish of the Nuclear Energy Institute? Wondering what goodies to nuclear power lurk amongst energy legislation that will soon surface? The NuSubsidies Nuclear Consortium (NNC) helps make sense of these seemingly contradictory directions. Excellent Powerpoint presentation by economist Doug Koplow. http://www.earthtrack.net/documents.asp?docUrl=NNC_Overview.ppt
