away. Sign-up ends at 9am. Breakfast provided.
9am :: City Council Meeting officially starts.
LUNCH :: During the City Council lunch recess (time
unknown), we will hold banners & signs along
Commerce Street.
* City Council Chambers is located at the corner of Main and Commerce, next door to the San Fernando Cathedral. ADDRESS: 114 W. Commerce St.
* We will wear BLACK to identify ourselves as a group, show disappointment in City Council, and mourn the death & illness caused by nuclear energy.
* Bring your banners, posters & props for the lunch-time demonstration!
100% renewable energy.
0% nuclear.
We want energy efficiency, solar, & green jobs for S.A.
Rather than investing $2.6 BILLION into new nuclear reactors in Bay City, we call for a large-scale investment in programs for energy efficiency and renewable energy sources, putting the people of San Antonio into green jobs - like constructing and installing solar panels, weatherizing homes, and building renewable energy sources, like geothermal, which uses the natural temperature of the earth for heating and cooling.
CPS Energy recently announced that they plan to increase rates to pay for the nuclear expansion. In 2010, they will increase electricity rates by 9.5%, and natural gas rates by 5%, with additional 5% increases every other year for the next decade.
Nuclear power uses vast amounts of water, and creates toxic, cancer-causing radioactive waste, which lasts for thousands of years, causing sickness, deformation, and death for hundreds of generations to come. WE SAY NO!
