Furthermore, reactors are sitting-duck targets vulnerable to attack and routinely release - as well as leak - radioactivity. There is so solution to the problem of radioactive waste.

"POWER STRUGGLE is the remarkable story about how people power overcame corporate power and government cover-ups to finally shut down an aging and dangerous nuclear plant. We see how small town citizens were transformed into tenacious anti-nuclear activists who triumphed against the odds. POWER STRUGGLE is a hopeful story that reminds us that citizen activism is not just possible, it is essential to saving our endangered planet."

— David Goodman, best-selling author, journalist and radio host, THE VERMONT CONVERSATION 

 

“David and Goliath battles always need to be documented so people understand the power they have to achieve a desired result even against ridiculous odds.  POWER STRUGGLE documents the acts of ordinary people, many of them senior women, who brought down the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant by focusing their energies, intellects and actions in a unified way.  The filmmaker’s timing proved serendipitous in the footage he was able to capture, the sense of people and place.  Infuriating, deeply moving, and ultimately uplifting, POWER STRUGGLE provides an important record of what it takes to successfully battle a nuclear reactor into shutdown.”                       – Libbe HaLevy, Producer/Host, NUCLEAR HOTSEAT
