Indian Point Evacuation Plan Is Unrealistic

Posted on August 3, 2011 by iwilder

IW: The Obama administration has been pushing a return to nuclear energy, despite its obvious failure. Watch for them to intervene on Indian Point.

Got royal wedding fever?: Alternative eye candy (via Peace Couple)

Posted on July 30, 2011 by iwilder

The Duke and Duchess of Peace have devoted their lives to working for nonviolence and a world without war. They believe that the nature of other royal systems is ultimately to glamorize the military and/or to distract people from politics and real life with visions of celebrity.

Peter Yarrow as apologist on Tim DeChristopher trial

Posted on July 29, 2011 by iwilder

LI Dem Electeds Support Nuclear Power

Are we actually recycling? (via thegreenschoolhouseseries)

Posted on July 22, 2011 by iwilder
