Studt after study has established the health effects of radiation exposure - but now the Trump administration wants to roll back the current (inadequate) regulations. Will the new series of healthstudies from Harvard create a turning point - or just be ignored like these before.

We’re down to the last days of the New York State legislative session & this is probably the MOST important Bill for the environment! These nuclear plants would cost $100 BILLION & take 10 to 15 years to build We could build MULTIPLE times the solar & storage in 2 years instead Pause nuclear now.

This is just one of many studies over the years that show a relationship between nuclear plants & cancer It’s important to note that cancer is not the only health risk involved. Cardiac issues, infant mortality and more are linked to these dangerous radioactive facilities! youtu.be/JEy16UoOIFY?...

While the article focuses on international reporting, we have a problem here in the US as well: rooftop solar is counted as ‘demand reduction’ not as energy generation. But of course it DOES generate electricity and transmits it to the user very efficiently without adding any strain to the grid!

Hope people who missed the live event will watch the video of this first Forum in a series explaining not only why building new nuclear plants is a terrible idea - but what we can do instead. Renewables are not just safer, they are cheaper and faster to implement: a win-win for the climate!

Neither SMRs nor a full-size nuke plant (like the one Gov Hochul has instructed the NY Power Authority to build) will help NY’s climate efforts or affordability crisis Nuclear plants are the MOST expensive way to produce electricity & a 10-15 year timeline = 8+ additional years of greenhouse gases!

And if you live near a nuclear plant, don’t drink the water Or go out in the rain Or eat vegetables from your garden Or allow your pets to go outside Every operating nuclear plant emits tritium (radioactive H3O) all the time as water vapor Like regular water but irradiating you from the inside

The company that’s working on reviving the zombie Three Mile Island plant is well aware of how alarming that is. And of course they don’t want public attention to the project. First Step: Rename it the ‘Crane Clean Energy Center’ www.nrc.gov/info-finder/...

Bill Gates finally realized that his small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) - the slowest, most expensive entry into the climate addressing sweepstakes - will not be taken seriously if people realize how critical the problem is right now. He can’t get subsidies for tech that will be MUCH too late!

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

One has to wonder why Hochul is proposing the slowest, most expensive method of producing electricity (nuclear plants) as a way to address climate change. Solar power that can be installed in about a year would require 10+ years for nuke plants - meaning an extra 9 or more years of fossil fuel use!

The Buffalo News headline reads: “Gov. Hochul: climate crisis has become too expensive to address in time”

So essentially, Governor Hochul is blaming her failure to address the climate crisis (as required under New York State law) on the expense of doing that.

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

Large scale corruption is nearly impossible without collaborators & current deregulation of the U.S. financial services industry almost guarantees more fraudulent schemes by the nuclear industry - starting with reviving zombie nuke plants that were purchased with the promise of decommissioning them!

041

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 05/10/2025

Hard to believe that the industry thinks SMRs are a viable business rather than simply a way to harvest subsidies. It’s even more puzzling that folks providing those subsidies keep going. Paying an estimated 3 times as much per MWH & waiting 5+ times as long for implementation is incomprehensible!

The Generals didn’t look happy about having to leave their posts to be lectured to by a cosplaying Sec of Def. It was meant to show what could happen to them if they don’t toe the traitor-in-chief’s line. But arresting citizen veterans might make them understand the even higher cost of compliance!

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

We should all be alarmed by how high gas ‘delivery’ costs are no matter which state we live in. With the rapid rise in cheaper wind and solar, the continued construction of ‘stranded assets’ to keep us locked into this expensive, climate-killing energy is unconscionable.

023

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

We should definitely stop referring to the current situation as ‘unprecedented’ and should start recognizing how horrific things have been for how very long a time for how many groups of people right here in the U.S.A.

Every dollar spent on nuclear plants impedes our fight against climate change It’s not just the 15yr Vogtle plant The avg international time from starting nuke plant construction to producing electricity is 9.9 yrs That’s 8+ more years of greenhouse gases compared to solar! Oil & gas ❤️s nuclear!

In fact nuclear plants are the MOST expensive way to produce electricity. Tell Hochul: The public will be paying the excess costs either in their utility bills or their taxes. Every dollar spent on nuclear could buy multiple times the fossil-fuels-replacing electricity with wind, solar & storage!

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 21/07/2025

If you don’t continually monitor the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) website you might not know that in response to an order from Trump the agency is considering increasing how much radiation you can be exposed to. The new limit might be 100 to 1000 times higher than current requirements!

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

@governor.ny.gov Kathy Hochul has approved one long-stopped pipeline project & is apparently reviewing another one After years of inaction on NY State’s climate goals, she’s ready to throw them under the bus for deals with Trump, data centers, and the fossil fuel & nuclear industries Just say NO!

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

It would take big taxes on renewables plus big subsidies for fossil fuels and nuclear to stop the switch from gas, oil & nukes to wind, solar & storage Somehow cheaper, healthier, more distributable energy is catching on Strange that @governor.ny.gov missed the memo. Please let her know about it!

Cuts to Medicaid etc will be a salient congressional campaign issue in 2026 even if many haven’t gone into effect yet But of course any reversal will be subject to a presidential veto The only hope for stopping them would be if a significant number of Republicans were terrified by a GOP trouncing

Can understand why this post doesn't allow comments. Does anyone know of a low-income person who can make an extra $10 if her bus arrives half an hour earlier? As a one-time very low income person in NYC, I used to cut back on my food budget to afford the fare to a museum or park on the weekend.

Lina Kahn is a national treasure and I look forward to her being back in charge of antitrust law in the next administration! Because of Robert Bork (yes THAT Robert Bork) antitrust law was moribund for decades - leading to ‘to big to regulate’ and Elon Musk. That needs to end, as Lina was doing.

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

Every exposure to radiation is cumulative and increases a person’s lifetime risk of cancer. Why are we continuing to use the MOST EXPENSIVE way to create electricity when safe, cheap, timely alternatives are readily available?

Having worked with Dr. Phillips opposing fossil fuel projects in the area I can say that he is the very opposite of a threat to the community - preferring hunger strikes that put his own health at risk Guess his science based approach to protecting our environment is a problem for industry profits?

While top level issues like whether presidential support for the Constitution is mandatory are taking up a lot of space in our brains and the media, there are urgent ‘on the ground’ concerns like whether children should have access to water that doesn’t contain toxic chemicals. Please take action:

We need more leaders like @amdanalevenberg.bsky.social who are looking out for our environment AND our utility bills! Helpful hint for folks who don't already know: nuclear plants are the MOST expensive way to produce electricity and take the longest time to install (so no help on climate change).

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

Every step in the process of using uranium to make electricity at nuclear plants is filled with disastrous health problems and deaths (including waste that’s dangerous for hundreds of thousands of years). We MUST NOT revive an industry that kills people as part of ‘the price of doing business’!

Cuomo is incompetent, including on infrastructure. Example: during a “lost decade,” virtually ZERO utility-scale wind or solar was built in NY under Cuomo. Meanwhile, other states like CA and TX rocketed forward. He is incompetent (and also defers to polluting corporate interests)

My cancer diagnosis came 7 years after I moved 2.8 miles from an aging nuclear power plant. If I’d had developed the grapefruit sized tumor several years earlier, I wouldn’t be writing about it now. Cancer treatment has improved - let’s also focus on cancer prevention. No new nukes!
