Nuclear weapons-free Takoma Park now also nuclear power-free

Thanks to an initiative launched by Beyond Nuclear in December 2008, the nuclear-free City of Takoma Park now truly lives up to its name. Long a nuclear weapons-free city, Takoma Park opted in June 2009 to purchase 100% wind power, dispensing with both nuclear and fossil fuel to create a truly carbon-free and nuclear-free city. Beyond Nuclear provides more details in its December 17, 2009 press release.
