Generation Atomic

Amsterdam, Advocates, and the Energy Pyramid Hey Atomic Amigos, We've had an amazing month since the last time we spoke. River and I traveled to Amsterdam to a meeting with 50 other pro-nuclear environmentalists from 12 countries. The goal? To plan an action to save European nuclear plants. The meeting got off to an exciting start when we caught wind that anti-nuclear group WISE would be protesting our event. That morning I quickly rewrote some lyrics to Elvis's hit "I can't help falling in love with you" to suit the event, and rehearsed our make-shift choir to sing them. We really lucked out, as several people had singing experience and were able to improvise harmonies. It was as a beautiful, unforgettable moment. To top it all off, Madi, Exec VP of Environmental Progress brought the anti-nuclear protesters daisies. In response, they smiled, applauded and politely left. Afterwards, we had two days of invigorating meetings lead by Environmental progress, resulting in the planning an event called "Nuclear Pride Fest"-- to take place in Munich, Germany on Oct. 20-21. If you can make it, please join us! It'll be the event of the season, and may have a sizeable impact on the energy debate in Europe. Environmental Progress is offering scholarships to student leaders to make the journey. We've also continued to add new designs to our store-- this month we're profiling a design that came out of River's brain, the Energy Pyramid. Here's the design concept: Just like a balanced diet includes a variety of things, so too does a balanced energy diet. Healthy servings of always on “nutrients” like nuclear energy, carbon capture, hydro, and geothermal provide a healthy baseload that is augmented by other sources that are good in smaller doses, but can cause problems when you “eat” too many. Together, these resources can make up a balanced energy intake for both ourselves and the planet. Grab it on a poster or t-shirt and support nuclear advocacy! Advocate of the Month - Justin Shannon "We need a strategy to get Wall Street excited about nuclear in the same way that it's excited about renewables". Just some of the wisdom you can gain from Justin Shannon, a nuclear advocate living in Alexandria, VA who works in finance... Read more www.generationatomic.org Thanks for all of your support! You guys make this possible! With love and hope for the future, Eric at Gen A
