After years of hard work from Dan and supporters like you, a Canadian company just announced that they are abandoning plans to permanently store nuclear waste on the shores of the Great Lakes.
This is huge news, Kevin.
Storing nuclear waste less than a mile from Lake Huron would have put our Great Lakes at risk. Nuclear waste remains radioactive for thousands of years and the risk of an accident was too great. Dan has always said surely there must be a better place to store nuclear waste than on the shores of the world’s largest freshwater body.
Since 2013, Dan has fought hard to stop this Canadian plan so we could protect Michigan’s environment and economy, which rely on the Great Lakes. As Michiganders, the Great Lakes are part of our DNA and they are a both a vital resource and a critical economic engine for our state and the country.
Dan is committed to fighting each and every day to protect our greatest natural resources.
Thank you for standing with us and celebrating this victory for our Great Lakes. There is still work to be done, but today we can feel proud of the long fight we had in achieving this result.
