Oil Sands Truth: Shut Down the Tar Sands

The Pew works with Nuclear: "industry and environmental cooperation"

This has to stop! The "Pew Charitable Trusts" are NOT the allies of the earth. The Tar Pits are expanding, making MAJOR amounts of money and are doing so through the back door route of funding the Pew with money made from the Tar Pits. If this "trust" gives an organization you care about money, get them out. They are soaked in oil, they are from the Pew Family, who run Sunoco, who refine tar sand guck and more importantly INVENTED the process.

Here it is folks, all bare: I write with alarm and anger, having just seen from above the wasteland that is north of Fort Muck. So let us be clear on one thing: No industry that does this should be "cooperated with" unless you are helping them pack up. No nukes, no tar pits, no money from tar pits, supposedly to "stop the tar pits"?!? Kick oil money out of the environmental movement.

Nuclear Power Joint Fact-Finding

The need for more baseload electricity generation coupled with concerns about climate change and the high prices of energy have prompted discussions about the possibility of expanding the role of nuclear power in the U.S. and abroad. On the other hand, serious concerns remain about waste disposal, safety and security, proliferation risks and cost. Before debating what role, if any, nuclear power should play in the future, stakeholders on all sides of the issue need to reach a common understanding about the state of the technologies and the costs, benefits and risks. Prompted by a letter from six environmental organizations and interviews with about 30 stakeholders across the country, The Keystone Center launched a Joint Fact Finding on Nuclear Power in March 2006.

With funding from The Pew Charitable Trusts, the National Commission on Energy Policy, and nuclear industry representatives, The Keystone Center brought together a cross-section of interests—environmental and consumer advocates, nuclear industry representatives, academics, and state and federal government officials to find trusted experts and information sources to help answer questions and build a common base of knowledge about nuclear power, its costs, benefits and risks. The 27 invited participants worked together to develop and answer important questions that will serve as a foundation for a constructive dialogue in the future about balancing the risks and benefits of nuclear power and alternative technologies in addressing climate change. The final report was released June 14, 2007.
