Library Webpage

A note about navigation: This library contains three interactive guides on the following topics: “The Path to A 100% Renewable Energy Future”, “False Solutions to Our Climate Crisis”, and “The Dirty Truth About ‘Clean’ Nuclear”. Each have in-depth information and resources within, consisting of everything from academic papers to newspaper articles to informational videos and other multimedia. The interactive libraries are hosted on Prezi, a visual communications tool which acts like a choose-your-own-adventure slide deck. If you’d like a tutorial on how to navigate the Prezis, a 5 minute video guide will soon be available on this page.

An archive of the sources within each guide is also located on this page, grouped by topic and subtopic for you to explore separate from the guidance or narrative of the interactive Prezi experience.

Please use the below form to suggest resources for inclusion in any of our libraries. The library is a living resource that typically gets updated once a year, and we appreciate feedback and suggestions for new resources.

If you have thoughts or comments on the libraries’ layout, visual accessibility, and other aspects of its look and feel, please use our more extensive google form survey linked below.

The Dirty Truth about “Clean” Nuclear
Interactive Guide

For many years, nuclear energy has been falsely marketed as a clean energy source. When we consider the entire nuclear energy generation process, from fuel mining to plant decommissioning, we get a different picture. Harmful impacts include radioactive waste, contaminated waterways, health impacts to workers, their communities, and the communities hosting radioactive waste, as well as tremendous infrastructure costs that we as consumers end up paying through our electricity bills.
