To whom it may concern,
The undersigned US peace, environment and anti-nuclear groups are writing to urge you to exclude nuclear power from the Flexible Mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol at the Bonn meeting of the Conference of Parties (COP) this July. We note that at COP6 in The Hague last November the majority of Parties wanted to keep nuclear power out of the Kyoto Protocol, and a final decision to do so was only prevented by the collapse of the talks.
We particularly urge you to resist any US pressure to drop anti-nuclear language from the text as a condition of its involvement in further negotiations. Nuclear power gives rise to enormous environmental and social problems such as production of radioactive waste, the risk of catastrophic accidents and the threat of nuclear proliferation. The history of nuclear power in the US bears this out – the mounting piles of spent nuclear fuel and the Three Mile Island accident being the most notable examples. If nuclear power is subsidized through the Kyoto mechanisms it will destroy the environmental integrity of the Protocol, and divert resources from those clean, safe technologies that are the real solution to climate change. This is too high a price to pay for US involvement.
We look forward to a nuclear-free Kyoto Protocol emerging from the July talks in Bonn.
