Coalition comments to DOE, in defense of Environmental Justice, and opposed to federal CISFs under the ruse of "consent-based siting"

Beyond Nuclear was joined by 139 other organizations, as well as additional individuals, to submit coalition comments to the U.S. Department of Energy by its March 4, 2022 deadline. The coalition did so under protest, as 50+ organizational and individual members of the coalition had requested, in a Feb. 15 letter, that DOE withdraw its Request for Information on "consent-based siting" for federal consolidated interim storage facilities. DOE simply ignored the Feb. 15 letter, neither acknowledging receipt, nor answering it in any way.

See the coalition comments letter, here (as submitted at 3:20pm ET on Friday, March 4, 2022).

(Three additional groups, and one individual, endorsed the comments after that; they were also communicated to DOE ASAP, some before DOE's 5pm ET deadline on March 4, some after.)

Thank you to the 139 other organizations, and additional individuals, who joined Beyond Nuclear in defending environmental justice by endorsing these coalition comments! They are listed below.
