SUMMARY:Sierra Club Educational Forum: Nuclear Energy\, Promoted by the AI Craze
DESCRIPTION:Dr. David Fankhauser\, Professor emeritus of Chemistry at the University of Cincinnati\, will discuss the history of environmental and health threats from the use of nuclear energy\, both military and domestic. High-tech oligarchic\, corporations\, flush with hundreds of billions of dollars\, are in the process of constructing trillions of dollars in data centers. In the process\, they are exploiting secret deals\, including surreptitious land purchases\, major tax abatements. \nBesides the disappearance of farmland\, these data centers place an extraordinarily high demand on electricity and consume large quantities of precious water. These are resulting in significantly higher\, electricity costs\, and concerns about water availability. \nOne of the “solutions“ these mega corporations offer is to resurrect the moribund nuclear industry. The underlining problem with the nuclear industry\, as always\, is the “silent but deadly“ problem of radioactivity. Its danger is raised at every stage of the fuel cycle\, whether mining and resulting tailings\, refining\, fabrication\, and especially the disposal of spent fuel for geological periods of time. \nDr. Fankhauser will present an illustrated discussion of the history of environmental and health threats from the use of nuclear energy\, both military and domestic. Special reference will be made to Fernald and Zimmer in Greater Cincinnati. \nPhoto courtesy Ellen Brenneman
