Is Nuclear the Answer to Climate Change?

March 17 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Lower Hudson Group of Sierra Club

together with United for Clean Energy & Grassroots Environmental Education

 

GOV. HOCHUL’S BIG PUSH FOR NUCLEAR: 

Is Nuclear the Answer to Climate Change?

Online. See below for Zoom information.

 

Is nuclear energy the answer to global warming? As New York fails to meet its critical climate goals, Gov. Hochul is pushing a major U-turn back to nuclear power.

How different are the small modular reactors that Gov. Hochul is pushing? How clean and fast is nuclear power, truly? Are these “advanced” nuclear options any safer? Do we want them in our own neighborhoods?

We’ll hear from two experts, Tim Judson Executive Director of Nuclear Information and Resource Service and Mitch Jones, Managing Director of Policy and Litigation for Food & Water Watch. They’ll speak to us about the risks associated with the new nuclear options that Gov. Hochul is pushing. 

They’ll answer the questions, do we need nuclear – and is nuclear the answer to climate change? We’ll also discuss actions we can all take.

Secondly, we’ll discuss actions to protest the Trump administration daily assault on environmental protections and drastic cuts to climate funding and research, as well as local issues.
