Colorado residents’ anxiety over uranium mining and water
Residents voice uranium project concerns Speakers at Nunn meeting share opinions about proposed uranium mine and pump test BY BOBBY MAGILL coloradoan.com December 22, 2009 NUNN – Standing before a crowd of more than 100 people Monday night, Fort Collins resident Diane Marschke said she doesn’t think it matters if Powertech USA’s proposed Centennial Project uranium mine pollutes the water. “When people hear there’s a uranium mine 10 miles away, they aren’t going to come here,” she said. Marschke and about 15 others confronted U.S. Environ-mental Protection Agency officials at the Nunn Community Center with their opinions about a proposed water pump test that will tell Powertech if its in situ leaching method of uranium mining is viable in the area.

NASA to irradiate monkeys in the name of space travel
NASA, Don’t Expose Monkeys to Radiation!
Care 2 Petition Site NASA has announced that it plans to expose approximately two dozen squirrel monkeys to dangerous space radiation in a cruel and frivolous experiment that purportedly aims to study the health effects of radiation in deep space. Space-radiation exposure in monkeys can cause them to suffer from fatal types of cancer, including brain tumors, and other illnesses.
Because of drastic biological differences between species, radiation experiments on monkeys won’t tell scientists anything about how astronauts will react to deep space……

Arizona nuclear reactor closing permanently
Univ. of Ariz. plans to shut down research reactor Google News By BOB CHRISTIE (AP)22 Dec 09 The University of Arizona plans to shut down its 51-year-old nuclear reactor by mid-2010, ending a half-century of specialized nuclear research and training at the Tucson school.The writing has been on the wall for the reactor’s demise since the late 1990s, said the professor who runs the UA Nuclear Research Lab. That’s when falling demand for nuclear engineers led the university to end specialized degree programs that had fed hundreds of engineers into the nuclear Navy and private nuclear industry.The reactor’s license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission expires next year, and with a rigorous re-licensing process, the decision was made to shut the reactor down.

Bright Future for Solar Energy
The Solar Energy Industry is Looking Bright
CityTownInfo.com By Abigail Rome
December 17, 2009
The stars seem to be aligning with the sun these days. Or at least with an industry that takes full advantage of the sun. Here are a few indications. While the climate change agreements were being discussed last week in Copenhagen, the U.S. President spoke about stimulating green energy jobs. And, as the costs of solar panels have decreased tremendously in recent months, governments have continued to create incentives for renewable energy and efficiency. In short, the political will as well as the economics are in place for solar energy to finally skyrocket. Continue reading
Why nuclear power is useless against global warming
Nuclear power not the answer to global warming Bleeding Heartland by: desmoinesdem Wed Dec 17, 2009 To avoid the most catastrophic impacts of global warming, the U.S. needs to cut power plant emissions roughly in half over the next 10 years.
