Today, Japan paused. 🇯🇵 March 11, 2011. A magnitude 9.0 earthquake. A tsunami. A nuclear disaster that forced 160,000 people from their homes near Fukushima Daiichi.
We remember the 22,000 lives lost.

☢️ California wants to reopen the door to nuclear reactors.

Here's what they're not telling you.

AB 2647 would dismantle California's nuclear moratorium and Dr. Gordon Edwards, one of North America's top nuclear experts, is sounding the alarm.

On this day in 1954, the United States detonated “Bravo.
Children played in radioactive ash that fell like snow.
It was environmental injustice. It was the logic of empire deciding whose lives matter and whose don’t.
We remember.
We stand with the Marshallese people.

Watch this important briefing by Dr. Joseph Romm, and three key takeaways stood out:

🎥 Watch here:

Transparent analysis and ratepayer-first decision-making, energy policy can protect consumers while accelerating climate progress.

Energy, climate, and public policy.

We are moved by Len Hering’s remarks at the SLF Symposium, his perspective as a former Navy leader made clear that safeguarding radioactive waste is accountability, and long-term responsibility to the public. As we look ahead to the 2026 Symposium, tell us which leaders you want to hear from!

REPROCESSING ≠ RECYCLING
This reprocessing was introduced through a San Diego County Board of Supervisors Public Safety agenda item titled “Explore Opportunities to Relocate Spent Nuclear Fuel at SONGS for Reprocessing Research and Development” on December 9, 2025.
