It’s paywall protected part way into the post. Not good! Simply can’t subscribe to everything - and the bait-and-switch means this won’t be one I’m adding.

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.

Great news! Now let’s do the Nuclear Moratorium Bill too.

011

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

“New Yorkers deserve to have an assessment done before embarking on five reactors estimated to cost $20 billion each,” said New York Senate Energy Committee Chairman Kevin Parker. “It is what any business or government would insist on doing for a multi-billion dollar project.” Pass the Moratorium!

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.

We’re down to the last day for the New York state legislature The state’s Budget Bill hollowed out our landmark climate law (the CLCPA) and many environmental Bills are still waiting to even be considered Call your legislators to pass the Datacenter Moratorium & the Nuclear Moratorium Bills now!

000

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Yes! Based on the costs of the only 2 nuclear plants built in the US in 30 years, each of the 5 new plants proposed for NY would cost $20 BILLION dollars & take 10 to 20 years to build Solar + storage would be a fraction of the cost and can be implemented in about 2 years Everyone can do the math!

Nuclear waste is basically forever. It’s worst when it’s present after a disaster like Fukushima - but poses an ongoing threat at every nuclear reactor for hundreds of thousands of years We are contaminating our world not just for our lifetimes, but for the lifetimes of our grandchildren and beyond

TACOs again? Didn’t we just have those?

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!

022

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

Thanks so much for posting this. Now I have a convenient link to explain the problem instead of trying to fit all the info in a character-limited post!

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

Apparently about 75% of the population in the US thinks the government should be addressing climate change. According to ‘math’ that’s more than the 2/3 of the House & Senate that are needed to reinstate the finding legislatively. Please mention to your representatives: midterms

Like battery storage, costs could come down to make them a viable ‘add-on’ for data centers’ etc heavily concentrated demand I any case they seems preferable to newly proposed ‘Deep Fission’ drill holes with nuclear reactors at the bottom (that have DOE support) No fuel cost or radioactive waste!

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

I hope only ‘closed loop’ geothermal will be considered for most areas. And of course geological stability must be considered. This technology could be a win/win by preserving fossil fuel jobs and equipment - but it needs to avoid a number of that industry’s problems while avoiding its emissions!

131

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

Counting rooftop solar as a reduction in demand rather than as a generating capacity hides its true benefits. But of course that might be the whole point.

Really appreciate Jane’s comments about her opposition to SMR nuclear reactors (along with her long-standing opposition to conventional nuclear plants). Can we get some blue hats that say “Jane Was Right About Everything”?

Beginning in my teens, I worked at my father’s architectural office where the blueprint machines featured open ammonia troughs The smell was everywhere and should have served as a warning long before he died early with Parkinson’s, encephalitis, heart disease and cancer Glad I pursued law instead

Cream puffs were served at the Albany Hilton for NY Gov. Hochul as she announced expensive new nuclear plants for the state and our utility rates soar!

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!

If he knew that approximately 89 percent of Greenland's population is indigenous Greenlandic Inuit, he would probably lose interest. He can’t even distinguish between Norway & Denmark. He’s likely envisioning himself as the leader of a country of proud lily-white Vikings.

000

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

Trump knows very little about Greenland and seems to be obsessing over it due to a rumor about Russian or Chinese interest in the country. His letter aligns with his view that he should have all the toys - prizes, countries (Cf. Venezuela), and command of world leaders’ attention.

An unwelcome change! Is every institution just going to accede to Trump’s wishes?

Amazing accomplishment! Fortunately all my projects for the day are ‘virtual’ - and my middle kitty is insistent that I maintain a level lap for the duration . . .

It would be nice if we just had enough money to fight them in court. We need to document every threat to our environment and be ready to reverse those asap under the next administration. In the meantime, see you all out in the streets!

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 29/12/2025

Wishing the same for you and your family🌟 2026 is going to be another challenging year for the environment - but it’s great to have the privilege of working with so many wonderful people like YOU!

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 29/12/2025

Under any reasonable Federal government, the NY climate goals would align with fiduciary considerations Accelerating movement to wind, solar & storage would leave fossil fuel companies with reduced revenues & on the hook for stranded assets Hopefully 2026 elections will change the Trustees’s minds

010

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 29/12/2025

Hochul is trying to have it both ways by signing this important environmental legislation but postponing its effect until after the election. Will that make fossil fuel donors happy while defusing a potential campaign issue? Unless we’re paying attention: probably.

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!

031

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

Nor will a full-size nuke plant like the one Gov Hochul has instructed the NY Power Authority to build! Nuclear plants are the MOST expensive way to produce electricity - and their 10-15 year implementation time means 8+ additional years of greenhouse gas for the nuclear option compared to solar!

041

Nancy S Vann @nsvann.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

The main purpose for ‘carbon capture’ - beyond obtaining subsidies - is to enable the continuation of fossil fuel production while pretending to address climate change. Oh - and did they mention that much of that captured carbon is used to produce MORE fossil fuels?

If only post-menopausal women were valued in society . . . Oh well, infants, children and women don’t count for radiation exposure limits either - just young healthy ‘reference man’ clones. And Trump wants to make that even worse: thebulletin-org.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/thebulle...

thebulletin-org.cdn.ampproject.org

Trump's new radiation exposure limits could be 'catastrophic' for women and girls

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission may soon loosen radiation exposure safety standards at nuclear plants and operations. Experts warn the general public is unsafe.

I’ve been busy with folks working to oppose the reopening of zombie nukes (including a threat at Indian Point!) so haven’t had much time for posting Great to see all the info sources you’ve identified - will be sharing the ones I missed with our community! And a happy Thanksgiving to you as well 🌟
