Does the “Nuclear Renaissance” sound too good to be true? That’s because it is.
By Simone Anter, Senior Staff Attorney & Hanford Program Director
Thank you for your interest in Columbia Riverkeeper’s webinar “Collision Course- Hanford Cleanup, Nuclear Energy, and Data Centers” featuring Krystal Two Bulls (Executive Director of Honor the Earth), Arjun Makhijani (President of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research), and me (Simone Anter, Columbia Riverkeeper). A special thanks to our partners for joining the webinar and sharing their insights!
Together, we explored the myth of nuclear reprocessing, why adding new nuclear to the Hanford Nuclear Site is a bad idea, and how the parasitic nature of nuclear energy and data centers are creating a new wave of environmental justice burdens falling squarely on the shoulders of Indigenous frontline communities.
If you missed the webinar, you can check out the recording here:
