On June 16, 2009 a coalition of 17 national environmental groups, including Beyond Nuclear, wrote a letter to the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee urging that "Clean Energy Deployment Administration" funding be prioritized for energy technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions most quickly and cost effectively, thus barring incredibly slow and astronomically expensive new atomic reactors. See the letter here.

Help stop new nuclear reactors. To learn more about the similarities and differences between the U.S. House and Senate versions of the so-called "Clean Energy Bank" proposals, see the following analysis by Michele Boyd of Physicians for Social Responsibility.
