Saving energy saves consumers money. Less pollution means better public health and cleaner lakes and rivers for all. Why would anyone argue that it's somehow smart to waste energy and money?

The list of crippled, non-competitive and near-dead reactors lengthens daily. Few are more critical than San Onofre Units Two and Three, perched on an ocean cliff in the earthquake-tsunami zone between Los Angeles and San Diego.

Remember red states and blue states? It turns out that it's the red ones that have the most to gain by investing in renewable energy.

Small wonder the death knell of new U.S. nukes may be upon us. Two reactors proposed for Florida will now, say its would-be builders, cost $24 billio...

Let's relieve the president of this radioactive burden. Let's kill these reactors before they kill us, and take the most significant leap of all toward a green-powered Earth.

If the citizens of Vermont can shut Yankee, a dam will be breached and the post-Fukushima power of a rising grassroots tsunami will be made tangible. Solartopia will be that much closer.

Fukushima has taught us that as long as reactors operate, the apocalyptic clock is ticking. With that in mind, and with the flow of green money turning into a financial tsunami, we can make 2012 the year nuke power finally dies.

How is that all of us today are living in homes that are much more efficient than the homes we grew up in.... yet we're all using more energy? The answer lies within each of us. It's how we use energy -- and how we waste it.

Barack Obama's 2012 budget marks a major escalation in the nuclear war against a green-powered future, whose advocates are already fighting back.

The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has made it clear that America's 104 licensed atomic power reactors are not accidents waiting to happen. They are accidents in progress.

For years reactor backers have touted the "Pebble Bed" design as an "inherently safe" alternative to traditional models. Now its South African developers say they're done pouring money into it.

The corporate structure that rules our world must be replaced with a means of organization that serves people and the planet, not the reverse.

In the face of fierce green opposition and withering scorn from both liberal and conservative budget hawks, Obama has done what George W. Bush could not.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released its quarterly rankings of the nation's top green power purchasers, with Intel Corporation leading th...

The epic fight over carbon emissions is barely the tip of how we survive. Mother Earth demands that fossil/nukes be transcended. This green-powered leap defines our technological, economic and ecological survival.

Only with peace can we win a true democracy based on social justice. The question of how many humans our planet can sustain will be answered with the empowerment of women.

"Real men" -- and women -- know we will never get to a green-powered Earth by trying to ride a dead radioactive horse -- even if it's French.

Baseload geothermal power gets all the attention because it has such enormous potential for delivering low-carbon 24/7 power. But geothermal heat pu...

While every person's footprint is a bit different, one thing is true for everyone: You can reduce your carbon footprint by half (or more!) with these ...

The GOP makes atomic energy the centerpiece of its strategy to deal with climate change.

once we've wiped the Earth clean of fossil and nuclear generators, we could install sufficient renewable resources to run the planet without a blink in the lights.

The Four Great Green Truths: we have a global crisis, it has a solution, the solution is winnable, and winning requires a "middle path" of action that is both non-violent and non-stop.

Nulear reactor backers got Congress to pass the 1957 Price-Anderson Act to protect utilities from all but a tiny portion of the potential damage. That all melt-down liability on the federal government, meaning you and me.

Chernobyl "can't happen here" only if the reactors are turned off before they kill again.

The City of Los Angeles set a goal to get 20% of its power from renewable sources by 2010.
