HEAT SHUTS DOWN NUCLEAR

FRANCE IMPORTS UK ELECTRICITY AFTER HEATWAVE SHUTS DOWN POWER.

Britain is exporting significant amounts of electricity to France after the summer heatwave put one third of the country's nuclear reactors out of action. With temperatures in France soaring above 30 degrees Celsius this week, reactors at state-owned EDF are generating their lowest amount of electricity in six years, forcing the French producer to turn to Britain for additional supplies. A spokesman for National Grid said that electricity flows from Britain to France during peak periods yesterday were as high as 1,000 megawatts, which is roughly equivalent to the output of the Dungeness nuclear power plant on the Kent coast.

...IN THIS NEWS ITEM FROM FORBES MAGAZINE AND REUTERS DATED JULY 3-2009 MAJOR FLAWS ARE REVEALED IN NUCLEAR REACTOR OPERATION......INLAND WATER SOURCES SUCH AS RIVERS AND LAKES ARE USED ROUTINELY TO DISCHARGE HEATED WATER FROM A NUCLEAR REACTOR.....ONLY PROBLEM A HEAT WAVE LIKE THE ONE IN FRANCE RIGHT NOW.....AND REACTORS ARE REQUIRED BY SAFETY REGULATIONS TO SHUT DOWN FOR THE DURATION OF THE HEAT WAVE.....SO...NO ELECTRIC POWER..IN THE CASE OF FRANCE THEY HAVE TO IMPORT HUGE AMOUNTS OF POWER FROM U.K......BUT EVEN THEN THE SUPPLY IS NOT SECURE AS THE U.K. WILL ALSO HAVE A HEAT WAVE SOON ACCORDING TO THE WEATHER PEOPLE.....NUCLEAR IT SEEMS HAS FAR TOO MANY FLAWS AND SHOULD BE REJECTED. . . . . . . . . . IT IS NOT A SAFE AND RELIABLE POWER SUPPLY.

NUCLEAR=WATER HOG

The Association is asserting that the nearby Plymouth-based nuclear power plant has created a “killing zone” in Cape Cod Bay that not only affects the future health of the Jones River and its native species but the health of a wide variety of aquatic species, large and small, and the food they depend on to survive. The Watershed Association and Pilgrim Watch have jointly written to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) suggesting that the plant’s owner – Entergy Corporation – should not have its license to operate the Pilgrim nuclear power plant extended unless and until it upgrades the facility’s water cooling system. That license expires later this year, and Entergy has been engaged in a license renewal process for more than six years. The Association and Pilgrim Watch assert that the plant’s cooling system – which uses seawater to maintain safe temperatures at the plant – is discharging harmful pollution and potentially impacting endangered species and their hab

tar sands protest,washington dc

post she wrote about visiting her native Alberta, where she saw the tar sands up close. She explains a bit about why this kind of individual outreach is so important: "A week after I visited the Canadian Tar Sands “to see for myself” what that area is all about, I received emails from several of my friends and colleagues, encouraging me to join them in Washington, DC for a "peaceful protest" against the proposed pipeline that would carry tar sands oil from Alberta, Canada to Texas… I am signed up for a Tar Sands protest at the White House in Washington, DC that has the potential to get the protesters arrested. Do I feel this cause is important enough to take these risks? YES I do. I hope my kids will be proud of me, and that it builds on my legacy and actions to try to raise awareness to the growing reality of climate change that is threatening my children’s future and mine. I want to WAKE UP my neighbors, friends, colleagues and total strangers by showing them that a mo

WALMART UN-PATRIOTIC

The battle between as the world's largest retailer and those who oppose it constructing a new store on the site of one of the Civil War's largest and most important battles continues. DCist music editor Amanda Mattos reports that a letter signed by some 250 scholars, from Ken Burns to David McCullough, puts Wal-Mart on notice: "The Wilderness is an indelible part of our history, its very ground hallowed by the American blood spilled there, and it cannot be moved." In December, the company prepared to submit an application for a special-use permit to construct a store on a portion of the battlefield, which is part of Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park. As Mattos notes, the Battle of the Wilderness was the first battle between Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. It cost 4,000 soldiers their lives and wounded 20,000 others and started the final push towards the end of the war. . . . . .IN SPITE OF THEIR SOMETIMES CHEAP PRICES WALMART DOES A LOT OF
