"NO NUKES"
from ... the triple album booklet, sleeve notes
Why We Say "No Nukes'?
MUSICIANS UNITED FOR SAFE ENERGY (MUSE) is a group of artists and
activists working for a future built on the natural power of the sun, and for an end to
the threat of atomic power plants and nuclear weapons. This triple album and the feature
film following it are the result of our five nights of benefit concerts in Madison Square
Garden, September 19-23,1979. This booklet is aimed at explaining a little bit about why
we produced these events, and why we plan to continue working for a non-nuclear future.
The health of the human race - and of each of us individually - is
inseparable from that of the planet.
And no single industry threatens our survival, or the quality of our
lives, with such brutal finality as atomic power. The outline presented in this booklet
shows only the tip of the iceberg. Catastrophic accidents, genetic mutation, cancer,
environmental damage, economical dislocation, unemployment, the erosion of our freedoms,
continued corporate dominance of our lives - these are just a few of the prices we pay for
continued use of nuclear energy, and for the on-going insanity of atomic weapons
proliferation.
On the other hand, we know that all our energy needs can be met through
a concerted program of increased energy efficiency, and with the rapid development of
energy technologies based on the natural power of the sun. Such sources are clean,
anti-inflationary and job creating, and will ultimately offer small communities and
individual homeowners true energy independence - emancipation from corporate control.
FOR ALL THESE REASONS and more, we're devoting our own energy toward
the day when not one more cent is spent on nuclear power except to decommission those
plants already built and to dispose of those wastes already created. At the same time, we
are asking that all future energy efforts be directed toward a democratically controlled
energy supply based entirely an renewable sources.
Each of us, in our own individual way, can do something to halt the
spread of this radioactive plague. We must stop nuclear power and move into the solar age.
We feel privileged for this opportunity to help make the transition happen, and we're glad
that you could join us.
No Nukes, Everybody!
John Hall, Bonnie Raitt, Graham Nash & Jackson Browne
"We can build an energy future for
the work and prosperity of the world."
Ralph Nader
TWO ENERGY pathways confront Americans today.
One pathway is run by Big Oil, the nuclear industry, and the utilities
- a highly concentrated group of corporations which thrive on monopolistic practices,
wasteful use of energy and buying politicians.
The other pathway can be to give consumers sovereignty to advance
energy efficiency, solar power, and the prudent, cleaner use of fossil fuels during the
necessary transition period to various forms of solar.
Choosing the solar and efficiency pathways means choosing to build
democratic control over energy policy in this country. It means every individual asking
how much he or she is willing to contribute in time, dedication and funds. There are tasks
suited to nearly everyone's level of commitment. Petitions need to be filled out and sent
to members of Congress. Teach-ins need to be held to respond to the public's desire to
know the facts. Local anti-nuclear citizens groups would welcome your support and
involvement. And there are many other available opportunities to serve.
Today, the nuclear power industry is crumbling technically,
economically and politically. But it is still a powerful lobby that will try to have the
taxpayer, via Washington, bail it out.
Stopping nuclear energy with its unacceptable risks of cancer to
present generations and untold damage to future generations is patriotism, pure and
simple. It is love of country and love of people. With the sun standing by, waiting for
application of known and knowable engineering systems to put it to greater daily work in
our economy, it is inexcusable that we do not have a national solar mission at least as
large as the program which placed a man on the moon. We should not have to wait until
Exxon owns the sun or until the utilities are able to place a meter on the sun before
people benefit from the cleanest, most abundant and most accessible form of energy -
sunlight, wind power, biomass and other solar derivatives.
Democracy means your involvement in this crucial struggle over which
energy pathway to choose.
Together, as an organized movement with determination and skill, we can
build an energy future for the work and prosperity of the world.
"The whole question of nuclear waste
scares the hell out of me"
Graham Nash
IN JANUARY OF '78 we did some benefits with Jackson Browne to stop the
Diablo Canyon plant, which sits near an earthquake fault in San Luis
Obispo, California.
During that time I was eating, drinking and sleeping nuclear radiation nightmare
information. That's when I wrote the song 'Barrel of Pain,' which is about the low-level
nuclear waste lying in barrels off the coast of San Francisco. There are thousands of
barrels out there in the ocean, and at least 20% of them are leaking.
The whole question of nuclear wastes scares the hell out of me. When
the industry was getting rid of nuclear wastes in the Fifties, the people in charge would
sometimes shoot holes in the barrels to make sure they would sink. So the barrels would go
down but the wastes would leak out.
We also know that a nuclear waste dump in Russia exploded in the late
Fifties, killing hundreds and maybe thousands of people and contaminating a
land area including hundreds of square miles. But here in the United States at the Hanford
waste dump, plutonium has already escaped from at least one trench, threatening us with
the same kind of explosion. Now we have a situation where the very soil can detonate!
We're committing evolutionary suicide here, and that affects every
person on this planet.
The cartels and the multinationals and the oil companies have billions
and billions of dollars invested in this nuclear program, and they're not about to come
off it. The only thing we can defeat them with is truth and the spreading of information.
And that's what the NRC and the oil industries and nuclear power promoters have been
keeping from the American public for years.
But I think that people really will stop nuclear power, when they
understand that the future generations are in grave danger.
I think people realize that if they believe in something enough to lay
their bodies on the line or march to Washington, they have genuine power to change and
shape their destiny. After Vietnam, the Civil Rights movement, the Gay Rights movement,
people know they can play a greater role in what happens to them in the future.
I see a change coming in this country. I felt it coming in the Sixties
and I feel it coming now.
"All it takes is a little mistake,"
David Crosby
THERE'S NO QUESTION you can design a technical system that looks good
on paper. But people will screw up. Remember the guy at Three Mile Island who turned the
valve the wrong way? All it takes is a little mistake at a plant windward from a large
population area, and we could lose an awful lot of people.
"Make the solar industry a money maker."
Stephen Stills
THE HANDWRITING is on the wall. We must communicate to the American
people the enormity of this issue - it's the single most crucial moral crisis to face
humanity since slavery.
Answer them with economics. Make the solar industry a moneymaker.
