2) Lead author Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University who is also a senior fellow at the Stanford Precourt Institute for Energy and the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment informs us that "Based on these results, I can more confidently state that there is no technical or economic barrier to transitioning the entire world to 100 percent clean, renewable energy with a stable electric grid at low cost," [by 2050] "."

3.) Lorraine Chow reports that the " World's First Floating Wind Farm [Hywind Scotland] Exceeds Expectations" "'We have tested the Hywind technology in harsh weather conditions for many years and we know it works,' said Beate Myking, senior vice president of offshore wind operations in Statoil"."

4) Peter Kelly-Detwiler says that "More Energy Giants [Are] Moving Toward A Renewable Energy Future." "News came out of France last week that, although net 2017 profit rose, EDF [EDFENERGY] saw its revenue slide from $88.3 billion to $86.7 billion, a decline that occurred largely in its traditional energy sectors such as nuclear. This was combined with an announcement that the French energy giant would invest more than $31 billion in solar in the coming years"."

THREE LITTLE WORDS

You are all singular and outstanding people and leaders. You do wonderful things. We need you to do more wonderful things now about Pilgrim.

We invite you to join us, we the people - be with us, talk with us, listen to us as we listen to you, have dinner with us, have coffee or tea with us, stand with us, dream with us, have a potluck with us.

Nuclear power plants cause leukemia and other cancers, and children are much more susceptible than adults. Fetuses are ten thousand times more susceptible than adults. Nuclear power plants kill people. Nuclear power plants are immoral and unethical. Nuclear power plants are unnecessary. Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima have shown us that when a nuclear power plant goes, it can never be fixed.

Please join us now and say loudly and righteously, these three little words. CLOSE PILGRIM NOW.

SEQUEL

I know about pre-emption. I am exercising my first amendment rights here.

Sheila Parks, Ed.D., is the founder of On Behalf of Planet Earth, a grassroots group working to close all nuclear power plants now, to close Pilgrim now and to move the 2020 Olympics out of Japan.
