SENATE ENERGY COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER "CLEAN ENERGY" BANK BILL

MAY 26, 2011

BANK WOULD ENABLE UNLIMITED TAXPAYER FUNDING OF NEW NUCLEAR REACTOR CONSTRUCTION

ACT NOW TO BLOCK "CEDA"!

May 25, 2011

Dear friends,

The Senate Energy Committee is scheduled to consider tomorrow--May 26, 2011--a bill establishing a new "clean energy" bank called the Clean Energy Development Administration (CEDA).

Unfortunately, this "clean energy" bank is anything but a source for funding genuinely clean energy. In fact, both new nuclear reactors and certain coal projects would be eligible for unlimited taxpayer backed loans if this bank were to be realized.

Take action now: tell your Senators to reject CEDA unless nuclear power and coal are removed.

A press release from our friends at Union of Concerned Scientists with more background on CEDA is here...


Thanks for all you do,

Michael Mariotte
