Nuclear Energy Native American Genocide a Legacy of American Hypocrisy

Boiling Water Using Nuclear Energy Kills Native Americans Historic uranium mining still affects Native American communities. Health crises, mainly diabetes, cancer and learning disabilities, on Native American reservations is caused by uranium mining. The lack of adequate health and environmental studies on Native American reservations does not make nuclear energy a safe, clean, energy source.

Nuclear Reactors, Actual & Proposed http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/map-power-reactors.html http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/col/new-reactor-map.html

Nuclear Energy Industry sacrifices Native Americans Previous slide clearly illustrates that nuclear reactors are located primarily in southeastern and northeastern US. Also the areas of greatest concentrations of coal-fired power plants. Therefore, transition from coal to nuclear energy is desired as emerging health crises in Southeast and Northeast US is directly attributed to breathing smokestack exhaust. Could climate change theory be subverted to force Americans to choose nuclear energy over coal?

US Power Grid http://geology.com/articles/satellite-photo-earth-at-night.shtml

There is no electricity shortage, there is only extreme waste The NASA satellite photo showing nighttime US clearly shows the waste of electricity. Shows the population centers and urban concentrations. Shows the Missouri-Mississippi rivers and Rocky Mountains as being the distinct boundaries between regions.

US Power Grid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

US power grid inefficiencies causing current economic crises Extreme concentration in eastern US power grid transmission system causes excessive inefficiency and dangerous instability. Saudi Arabia of Wind, the Upper Great Plains, is deliberately isolated from major urban centers to keep rates artificially high for consumers. Concentration also increases rates, needlessly forcing the poor to reduce consumption of computers, gaming consoles and televisions: all mediums of communication controlled to create poverty.

US Indian Reservations http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0778676.html

South Dakota Indian Reservations, the key to opening the clean energy door Four reservations: Standing Rock, Pine Ridge, Cheyenne River and Rosebud. Each reservation can produce the equivalent of two nuclear power plants with a 2,000 wind turbine farm. As Americans, we must force Congress to establish these reservation wind farms in lieu of proposed nuclear power plants.
