Nuclear energy is not a safe or clean energy option. The Palisades Nuclear Power Plant is a decommissioned reactor that sits on the shore of Lake Michigan and puts our health and our Great Lakes (20% of the world’s freshwater) at serious risk. It was shuttered ahead of schedule due to equipment failure, and we cannot let it be reopened. Help us petition our state officials to keep this power plant closed for good.

Reviving Palisades is an immediate risk to our health because:

No amount of radiation is a “safe” amount – with every radiation exposure comes a higher chance of having adverse effects on our health, our children being among the most at risk.

At this very moment, critical equipment within the plant is at risk of failure – If this equipment fails, at the very least, it means releasing harmful radiation into the environment. At most? A meltdown of the entire plant.

A meltdown means compromising not only Lake Michigan, but the Great Lakes as a whole - More than 30 million people rely on the Great Lakes for their drinking water, bathing water, etc. Under no circumstances can we risk that on a faulty power plant.

Many elected officials have spoken out on the dangers of storing high-level nuclear waste on the Canadian side of the Great Lakes, while remaining silent about Palisades and other nuclear waste sites on U.S. shores. Please join us in calling out this hypocrisy and asking our officials to protect our waters, ecosystems, and communities.
