"A major Energy Bill now before Congress contains a clause that could force taxpayers to underwrite construction of an unknown number of new nuclear power plants. This provision is potentially a blank check that could use tens of billions of your tax dollars to burden our nation with yet more indefensible radioactive terror targets and their waste. Please help us remove this clause from the pending Energy Bill, so our money can instead fund the renewable and efficiency technologies that can solve global warming, guarantee a secure economy and create millions of jobs." noted on homepage on 10.26.07
