A group opposing the possible reopening of the Palisades nuclear power plant has written to state lawmakers.
The group Beyond Nuclear is asking Energy Secretary and former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm to not allow a $1 billion loan for Palisades owner Holtec International that could restart the plant.
WSJM reports that the The SIerra Club of Michigan, Michigan Climate Action Network and Clean Water Action Michigan have also expressed their opposition to the reactivation of the Van Buren County plant.
Beyond Nuclear says the facility is riddled with problems that make reactivation a bad idea that could lead to a disaster.

The nutjobs complaining about the power plant are the same ones who want you to buy electric cars that dump toxic metal waste into the environment. Brilliant!
Solar and wind are jokes, often creating more toxic waste to make than can be balanced out by the energy they make in their (short) usable lifetime. (CO2 is not a toxin, it is not harmful, it’s a trace gas in the atmosphere and we exhale it constantly.)
With the left’s war on oil, war on coal, war on natural gas, war on LP, war on wood, and war on nuclear there is no way to maintain a functional civilization. Maybe that’s what they want after all…
Soros has deep pockets, and liberals have no morals.
The United States needs to build new nuclear power plants like other countries have. The lunatic left climate change syndrome isn’t working.
How do they think they will charge their EV’s on a cold windless dark day? The electricity has to come from somewhere. IGNORAMUSES!
According to these people the future is dark and stupid. What did liberals used to read by at night before candles? Electricity.
Nuclear is the greenest energy there is. Wait until the thousands of metric tons of waste from electric car batteries, non-viable solar arrays, and broken wind turbines become necessary to dispose of in less than a decade. None of this refuse is recyclable and will most likely need land dumps for disposal…good job greenies; destroying the environment in your misbegotten attempts to save it. I guess you didn’t follow the science.
