Anti-Nuke Gathering

It has been a while since I updated this blog last. Since January 27th, we have been busy moving out of my sister-in-law's house. The apartment which we decided to move in to was not quite ready when we moved out, so we stayed at an extended stay facility for 10 days. We moved into our apartment on 2/7/2012. Unfortunately, there is no internet connection at our apartment yet due to some cabling trouble. Anyhow, thanks to Chick-Fil-A's wireless access, I am writing this blog while my son is playing on the play-scape. (*^^*)

From Feb. 10th to Feb. 12th, our family joined an anti-nuke gathering in Palestine, Texas. It was very nice to meet people who have similar interests and passions. We shared our evacuation experience while we were there. When I started talking about it, I became very emotional and started crying. I did not realize how much emotion had built up since then. It was the first time for my husband and I to talk about it as much as we did. It was therapeutic to get it out from our systems.

I found out that 7% of electricity is coming from nuclear power in Texas. If it is just 7%, why should we risk our lives instead of using alternatives? I believe it is not very difficult to change this amount to renewable energy like solar and wind. I will do whatever I can to resist any more nuclear power reactors from being built or re-licensed in Texas.

I would like to thank all those at the Solar SI, Nuclear No event. Let's work together and make Texas a better and safer place!!
