Mothers and Others- Close Indian Point!

Thanks to Alice Andrews. all who helped organize and to the over 100 people who came out today in New Paltz, NY  to demand that the most dangerous nuclear power plant in the country be shut down. Organizers asked folks to bring a flower to celebrate nature, life, simplicity, and beauty; all that is endangered by nuclear power and nuclear weapons. 

Many cars honked in solidarity, but one man yelled, "If we close it, we will be in the dark!" which is the myth Entergy, the owner of Indian Point would have you believe. The truth is the plant only supplies downstate New York with 12.5% of their energy and that could be replaced with strong conservation measures.

This photo says it all- This is why we need to close Indian Point Now!

A few nights ago,  NBC News gave an update on Japan without reporting on what is happening at the Fukushima nuclear disaster! All we know is that the situation there is critical. This video shows the growing anger at the government. They recently increased the level of radiation that children could be exposed to twenty times higher than previously recommended! The radioactive playground dirt at the end is chilling.



 Please sign the petition to close Indian Point!!
