RSVP here for the Keep Oregon Nuclear Free Day of Action, with options to participate by going to Salem or by attending virtually.

Of the whopping 13 pro-nuclear bills that were introduced this session, only two bills (HB 2410 and HB 2038) are still moving forward. We know that new nuclear power is not the answer: it is too costly, too dirty, and too late to be part of Oregon’s clean energy future. Unfortunately, big tech companies like Amazon have bought into the nuclear fantasy. Let’s make sure our legislators know that these bills should not pass.

HB 2410, would exempt Umatilla County from the statewide moratorium on building new nuclear reactors, allowing small modular nuclear reactors to be built in the county.

HB 2038 would require the Oregon Department of Energy to study nuclear power. This is an unnecessary distraction from the real challenge of meeting Oregon’s clean energy goals.

These bills divert funding from energy efficiency, renewable energy, and storage technologies that are safer, less expensive, and faster to deploy.

For those of you who can make it to Salem: We’ll kick off the day by connecting with fellow advocates over coffee, followed by a brief lobby training session to help you feel confident and prepared. Then, we’ll head to the Capitol together for scheduled meetings with your legislators.

For those joining virtually: we’ll provide training and talking points for your meetings with legislators.
