1 June Webinar – The High Cost of Nuclear Power

June 1 from 7:00 to 8:30pm.

Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility (GBPSR) invites you to hear our experts critique the misguided push in the U.S. to expand nuclear power and discuss how we can advocate for a better energy future together.  Come learn how nuclear energy will lead to unacceptable, unjustifiable and unnecessary health, safety and energy costs in Massachusetts and in the U.S. on a virtual symposium

Background: Nuclear power has significant economic, health, and environmental costs and poses safety hazards that far exceed those of any other type of energy. We will discuss why “new nuclear” is a poor investment for Massachusetts and for our country and how investing in nuclear power could interfere with the transition to an affordable, healthy renewable energy future.
