AAEA Supporting Clinton ESP

The fight for the Clinton ESP is going hot and heavy, and our friend Norris McDonald of the African-American Environmentalists Association is in the thick of the fight:

In 2005, Norris McDonald, president of the African American Environmentalists Association, drove from Virginia to Clinton to support nuclear power at a meeting about the environmental impact statement included in the permit.

"Clinton stands at the crest of our energy future. This situation here is incredibly important. We would drive here, and I brought my son, we would come back again and drive 13 hours, this is just how important Clinton is," he said at the meeting, according to a transcript.

Global warming is the biggest threat to the country today, McDonald said in an interview, and by attending meetings such as the one in Clinton, he can bring a much-needed attention to an effective power source that is mostly carbon free.
