Join us to demand that the city of Burlington shut down the super-polluting McNeil biomass power plant. 

McNeil burns trees to generate electricity, accelerating the climate crisis and spewing harmful air pollution into our neughborhoods and our lungs.

From Rights and Democracy:

The question of how Vermont will address the climate crisis is a defining issue of the 2022 elections. With this in mind, Renewable Energy Vermont (REV), Rights & Democracy (RAD), the Vermont Chapter of the Sierra Club, Vermont Conservation Voters (VCV), and the Vermont Public Interest Research & Education Fund (VPIREF) partner to host a climate-centered Vermont Lieutenant Governor candidate forum.

Nuclear Free Future host Margaret Harrington talks with Maggie Gundersen, President of Fairewinds Energy Education, and Arnie Gundersen, Chief Engineer of Fairewinds, about decommissioning nuclear power plants, “just transitions” for communities losing their nukes, costs, and long-term radiation after site clean up. They discuss “Interim Waste” storage in Texas and New Mexico, transportation problems, the cleanup of bomb factories and mining sites on native land, and the reality that the cost of nukes is astronomical.
