GLOBALIZE RESISTANCE TO THE NUCLEAR REVIVAL

September 18, 2009 - 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM

GLOBALIZE RESISTANCE TO THE NUCLEAR REVIVAL
a free workshop with French activist and nuclear power expert Yves Marignac


Please join us for an opportunity to learn from French activist and nuclear power expert Yves Marignac on fighting the revival of nuclear power…Constellation Energy currently owns the Nine Mile Point 1 & 2 nuclear plants near in Oswego, NY. They have partnered with the EDF (Electricite de France) Group to create Unistar Nuclear Energy, which is pursuing permits to build and operate new nuclear power reactors, including the proposed Nine Mile Point 3. A new nuclear power plant would divert resources from urgently needed conservation and renewable energy projects and lock NY into an outdated and dangerous energy source for decades to come. Learn how you can support the struggle for clean, safe energy; what’s wrong with the new EPR nuclear plant design; and lessons we can learn from France’s dependence on nuclear power and reprocessing of nuclear fuel. Refreshments provided. Free to the public. At ArtRage Gallery, 505 Hawley Ave. 218-5711

This event is organized by the CNY chapter of the Citizens Awareness Network and hosted by the Artrage Gallery in conjuction with its fall exhibit by the Beehive Collective, on display Sept. 17-Oct. 24.
