Please join a live-streamed event this Thursday (April 30) from 2-5 pm ET, with guest environmentalists, climate scientists, activists, engineers, and a peer-reviewed rap star to learn about the environmental and health impacts of ramping of fossil fuel generation with the closure of Indian Point nuclear power plant. Fractivists and nuclear advocates are joining together in multiple socially-distanced, rain-drenched protests because they see how ramping down nuclear means ramping up fossil fuel generation.
