CANE - Coalition Against Nuclear Energy South Africa

Wind Power - safe, economical, sustainable and environmentally friendly Wave Power - safe, economical, sustainable and environmentally friendly Solar Power - safe, economical, sustainable and environmentally friendly Nuclear power - dangerous, unhealthy, proven to cause cancer, unsustainable, radioactive waste remains radioactive for 80 000 years.

If that is the case then why is the government ignoring all the other forms of power and only focusing on nuclear. Who wants the uranium and why?? Did you know that fissionable material generated by nuclear power plants is the same material used in the manufacture of nuclear warheads? Interesting .

This is a VERY serious issue. It involves many suspicious government activities not the least of which is a HUGE lack of or corrupt environmental impact studies. As I said before did you know that fissionable material generated by nuclear power plants is the same material used in the manufacture of nuclear warheads? Interesting .

A 2006 report by the Institute of Science in Society (ISIS) found that nuclear energy is energy negative. ie The power created from nuclear power is in fact less than the power it takes to produce it if you count from the mining of uranium to the final product. This is unacceptable. It seems to me that the government is being very quiet about this. Maybe they feel that the less people know the greater the chance is that they can put this through without protest. Again I say - Did you know that fissionable material generated by nuclear power plants is the same material used in the manufacture of nuclear warheads?

Please take a look around on the internet and see for yourselves the dangers of uranium and nuclear power. If you are really brave do a search for pictures of babies born to fathers that were exposed to radiation months or even years before their babies were conceived. I would love my baby either way but would prefer a baby with 5 fingers on each hand a proper shaped head and no lumps in strange places. I would also like to die peacefully in my sleep at a ripe old age and not die painfully of cancer. Come to think about it when did cancer first start? When did they start experimenting with nuclear bombs?

Another scary point. Insurance companies won’t pay for any damage done to person or property caused by nuclear accidents, (Radon gas can travel up to
1 500 km’s in a light breeze) just like they won’t insure against riots and skydiving. These are all too risky for them. But it is okay for us??
Really??

What can you do about this?? … Speak to your friends, family, co-workers, everyone you know and tell then about it. Write to the newspapers, ask questions of the government, local and national and also Eskom. There is an organization called Earth life Africa that is fighting this battle already.
Contact them and ask what you can do to help whether it is giving your time, expertise or money. We need to stand up and fight this before it is too late .
