COOK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ON LAKE MICHIGAN NOVEMBER 5-2014... At 2:49 a.m. today both Cook Nuclear Plant Unit 1 and Unit 2 were manually taken off-line due to difficulties caused by rough lake conditions. Excessive debris from large lake swells began to overburden and eventually caused damage to several of the traveling water screens that remove debris carried in through the three 16-foot cooling water intake tunnels. The intake tunnels that bring cooling water into the plant extend one-quarter mile into Lake Michigan and have racks at the opening to prevent driftwood and other large objects from being drawn into the tunnels. Inside the plant, 14 finer-mesh moving screens extend 48-feet into the water intake boxes to filter out fish, algae, shells and other smaller objects.      3 SIXTEEN FOOT DIAMETER WATER INTAKE TUNNELS GIVE SOME IDEA OF THE AMOUNT OF WATER USED BY NUKE REACTORS ON LAKE ONTARIO...ALSO NOE THIS WATER IS HEATED ,THEN RELEASED  BA...

Lowell Michalove • − Please take the one minute needed to read the following brief. It's ALL about ENERGY and the/our/your hedonist WASTE ! ! !Humanity's fate is ALL about the overconsumption of Energy.Yet, AMERICA continues to WASTE over 70% of the energy it consumes. At the end of the day, it's our own DUMB fault !Our hedonist energy waste is culturally pervasive, inexcusable, and suicidal.(1) 100's of millions of lights unnecessarily burn energy every day and night. (2) We over heat, over cool, and over light our municipalities, businesses, offices, homes, churches, SCHOOLS, etc… (3) Over packaging is the norm, and recycling is inadequate. Our landfills are busier than ever. Plastics (all of which are derived from petroleum) are the cause of most cancers.(4) Most Americans do not minimize their driving; road congestion is horrendous.(5) America's incessant obsession with driving and road construction is the ultimate contradiction to sustainable living.

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...

A year ago Enbridge CEO Pat Daniel announced a new foreign partner for its Northern Gateway Pipeline project. Daniels told a meeting in Whistler, BC that Sinopec, China’s second largest oil company, was investing an undisclosed amount in the pipeline approval process in return for a guaranteed place on the pipeline and the right to pony up for an equity stake in the $5+ billion project. Enbridge’s Northern Pipeline project is a dual pipeline designed to deliver tar sands oil to tanker ports in Northern BC for delivery by tanker to refineries in China and other points east. The pipeline approval process starts this week in Kitimat and is estimated to take up to 18 months. Fast forward a year. An oil industry front group headquartered in the office of Alberta tar sands legal specialists McLennan Ross announces it will be launching an advertising campaign attacking Northern Gateway critics. The front group refuses to disclose its funding source for the ad campaign. The group, Ethical ...

Description Come join us as various activist groups (from around the Denver/Boulder area) and community members come and stand together in solidarity to raise awareness of Suncor Tar Sands Refinery's recent oil leak in the Sand Creek and South Platte River at Commerce City. BACKGROUND: It was reported in late November that oil has been discovered in the South Platte River. Very little coverage from the media was published at the time of the discovery, but, until recently, it has been confirmed that gas-like sludge has been found on the edges of the river. It is unknown how long this leak has been present in the water. This water is a major source for drinking water, wild-habitat and agricultural uses for the Midwest, but the water is now contaminated and is non-usable for everyone and everything. **Suncor Energy is the oldest tar sands producers, up to 90% of its production comprised of tar sands bitumen. The company uses its Colorado refinery to process some of the heavy tar sand...

. . . .BIG OIL COMPANIES OCCUPYS PLANET EARTH WITHOUT AUTHORITY BUT WITH IMPUNITY AS THEY SEEM TO THINK IT IS THEIR GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO EXPLORE,DRILL ALL LAND MASSES,AND OCEANS WITH COMPLETE DISREGARD OF THE INHABITANTS (INCLUDING,FISH,BIRDS,ANIMALS) WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO DRILL AND DESTROY ? LIKE THEY ARE DOING NOW AT THE TAR SANDS IN ALBERTA AND FOULING THE OCEANS,FORESTS WITH POLLUTION IN THE AIR AND WATER IN VARIOUS PLACES AROUND THE WORLD.WHEN U REALIZE THAT UP TO 50 % OF EVERY BARREL OF OIL IS USED TO MAKE GASOLINE FOR AUTOMOBILES...IT BECOMES VERY CLEAR WHO IS BEHIND ALL THE ENVIRO DESTRUCTION.... THE CULPRIT IS THE CAR CULTURE LIFESTYLE THAT PLANET EARTH IS BRAINWASHED INTO ADOPTING AT THE EXPENSE OF THE ECOLOGY ....TIME TO CHANGE PEOPLE'S LIFESTYLE OR DIE IN A SUFFOCATING POLLUTION FILLED PLANET.

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...

...MARCH 11 - 2011 ..A DAY OF INFAMY FOR THE WORLD NUCLEAR INDUSTRY....IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A "PEARL HARBOUR MOMENT" WHEN THE COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD DECLARED WAR ON NUCLEAR POWER...WHICH IS NOW PROVING TO BE A GREATER THREAT TO WORLD SURVIVAL THAN THE ORIGINAL PEARL HARBOUR ISSUE EVER WAS.......EVEN NOW 3 MONTHS AFTER THE DISASTER AT THE NUKE REACTORS(EARTHQUAKE,TSOUNAMI,EXPLOSION,RADIATION,MELTDOWN)..THE SITUATION IN JAPAN IS FAR FROM BEING UNDER CONTROL..3 REACTORS ARE STILL IN MELTDOWN MODE AND HIGH RADIATION HAS SPREAD FAR AND WIDE INTO THE WATER,AIR AND SURROUNDING COUNTRYSIDE UP TO 120 MILES FROM THE EXPLOSION SITE.
