"From Fukushima to Fermi-3: Getting to Solartopia Before It's Too Late"

Harvey Wasserman, Senior Advisor to Greenpeace USA and Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS)Keith Gunter (a Beyond Nuclear Launch Partner) and Carol Izant, Co-Chairs of the Alliance to Halt Fermi-3, have announced that nationally renowned author and activist Harvey Wasserman (pictured left) will speak on Friday, December 7th from 7-9 PM at the Dearborn (Michigan) Public Library, located at 16301 Michigan Avenue (between Southfield & Greenfield, adjacent to the AMTRAK station).

Harvey's presentation, entitled "From Fukushima To Fermi-3: Getting To Solartopia Before It's Too Late," represents the formal launch of the new organization, the Alliance to Halt Fermi-3. Harvey is a prolific author, including such books as Solartopia! Our Green Powered Earth, A.D. 2030, and the hot off the press How the GOP Could Steal the 2012 Election: Corporate Vote Theft and the Future of American Democracy. Harvey serves as the editor of NukeFree.org, and has been a leading anti-nuclear power activist since the early 1970s.

If you live near Metro Detroit, please come! And please spread the word to folks you know who reside in the area.

Beyond Nuclear is proud to currently serve as the fiduciary agent for the Alliance to Halt Fermi-3.

Beyond Nuclear, along with Citizens for Alternatives to Chemical Contamination (CACC), Citizens Environment Alliance of Southwestern Ontario (CEA), Don't Waste Michigan, and the Sierra Club Michigan Chapter officially intervened against the proposed new Fermi-3 atomic reactor in early 2009, shortly after nuclear utility Detroit Edison filed a combined Construction and Operating License Application (COLA) with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Beyond Nuclear welcomes the Alliance to Halt Fermi-3 to this important work!
