globalnukeNOsign-thisMore Nuclear Power is NOT the Answer to the Climate Crisis Petition published by Tom Hayden on Sep 04, 2014

2691 Signatures 
 Target: Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network
Region: GLOBAL
Web site: http://tomhayden.com/
Petition Background (Preamble):
We believe that expanding the role of nuclear power may threaten the planet as surely as the global warming you seek to mitigate.
Fukushima alone demonstrates the risks of nuclear meltdowns even in a society based on science and advanced technology. The one hundreds plants in our country are terrorist targets.
There are no solutions in sight to nuclear waste disposal. The timelines for bringing new nuclear plants online exceed the UN’s call for rapid decarbonization. The estimated costs are staggering.

Petition:

We urge you to revise the recommendations of the UN’s Sustainable Development Solutions Network to remove its advocacy of nuclear fission as a “solution” to the climate crisis. The accelerated development of nuclear power plants would only increase the course we are on to planetary catastrophe.We urge you to develop an analytic model that includes the decommissioning of current nuclear plants as part of a transition to a future based on conservation, efficiency and renewable energy. http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/more-nuclear-power-is-not-the-answer-to-the-climate-crisis.html
