NO MORE NUKES!
I unequivocally oppose the construction of Two New 1,100 megawatt (mW) Nuclear Power Plants at the FPL - Florida Power and Light, Turkey Point Facility.
Why is this important?
History has shown that the potential exists for unplanned "incidents" to occur at or within Nuclear Power Plants.
Fukushima, Three Mile Island and Chernobyl are just 3 examples of when the best intentions can go wrong.
The results of such an unplanned "incident" can be catastrophic and long lasting.
Given the proximity of Turkey Point to the major population centers of South Florida, it's close location to the unique and environmentally sensitive Everglades and it's coastal location potentially exposing it to the effects of rising sea levels, The Turkey Point Nuclear Power plant exposes the population and natural environment of South Florida to unintended, but nevertheless, extraordinary risk.
Given the advent of viable and relatively benign alternative power generating technologies, I do not believe the benefits of Nuclear Power any longer outweigh the risks to the people and environment of South Florida.
I respectfully request Florida Power and Light immediately withdraw its application to the NRC for these two new Nuclear Power Plants at Turkey Point and the associated High Voltage electrical distribution network planned to traverse South Florida.
Please sign this Petition.
