Environmental groups criticize #Hanford #nuclear waste cleanup plan

by Eric Tegethoff
Wednesday, July 24, 2024

"A new agreement on plans for cleaning up nuclear waste at the Hanford site in #WashingtonState is receiving pushback from #environmental groups.

"Public comment was originally scheduled to close at the beginning of August but has been extended to Sept. 1 for the Tri-Party Agreement between the U-S Energy Department, Environmental Protection Agency and Washington Department of Ecology.

"Simone Anter, staff attorney and Hanford program director for the nonprofit #ColumbiaRiverkeeper, said the new agreement means changes to the cleanup efforts including how and where the Hanford #NuclearWaste is stored.

"'If new proposals are coming out to ship either grouted or liquid nuclear waste across the region, communities deserve to know that and deserve to have a voice and deserve to be engaged,' Anter contended.

"The agreement for dealing with 177 underground storage tanks at Hanford took four years of closed door negotiations. Columbia #Riverkeeper and other environmental groups worry the new agreement opens the door for a storage method other than #vitrification, which is used to turn high-level waste into glass.

"Anter noted #TribalNations in the region were not consulted about the proposal. She stressed even if they could not be part of the agreement, the agencies should have been considered before it was presented to the public.

"'#Tribal nations are not members of the public. They are government entities and should have been treated as such,' Anter pointed out.

"Anter added members of the public can play a big role in how the 56 million gallons of nuclear waste at Hanford are handled.

"'It's really important that all these cleanup decisions put human health, the #ColumbiaRiver and the environment first,' Anter asserted. 'I think public comments play an enormous role in reminding the #TPA agencies about this."

#climatechaos is now baked in, and we are the pie filling.

I am looking at the path of change challenge, leading to revolution. What meany people still do not understand is that this is the positive path we could take. Though, as has been pointed out, "the issue is that time is running out for this path before global climate collapse — one bad feedback trigger cascading into the next. Ocean circulation and weather disturbances, massive forest fires and famine, ocean acidification, phytoplankton death, oxygen depletion. The stuff of disaster movies."

In a world hurtling towards environmental catastrophe, the spectre of revolution can be seen as pointless. The harsh reality is that the clock is ticking, and our time and focus to avert the most devastating impacts of climate change is fading. The real nightmare begins with one feedback loop after another: Ocean Circulation Disruptions: Changes in ocean currents drastically alter global climate systems, leading to unprecedented weather disturbances. Massive Forest Fires: Temperatures rise, forest fires become more frequent and intense, releasing massive amounts of carbon dioxide and further accelerating global warming. Famine: Altered weather patterns and prolonged droughts could devastate agriculture, leading to widespread food shortages and famine. Ocean Acidification: Increased CO2 levels lead to more acidic oceans, endangering marine life, especially those with calcium carbonate shells or skeletons. Phytoplankton Death: The death of these tiny but vital organisms would disrupt the marine food chain and significantly reduce oxygen production. Oxygen Depletion: With less oxygen being produced by phytoplankton, we face a future where breathable air is no longer guaranteed.

Survival, But At What Cost? Think Mad Max, there might be a billion survivors, but they won't be happy people. Struggling to live in a world drastically different and much harsher than the one we know today. Necessities like food, water, and clean air become scarce, with societal structures collapsed under the pressure of survival. The thought of living through such a scenario is scary. So on a positive note, this is a wake-up call for the urgent need for social change and immediate action to mediate climate change. With this in mind, we need to shift our focus from merely surviving to thriving by fostering resilience and sustainability, fundamentally shifting rapidly away from the current mess.

We are likely past the stage to push for policy changes and supporting sustainable practices in daily life, from reducing waste to supporting eco-friendly businesses. The is likely still some effect from raising awareness to educate others about the dangers of climate collapse so they can take direct action now to build communities. One thing which will have some affect is building resilience by invest time and effect in community projects to help mediate the paths through the impacts of climate change.

The fight against climate change is not only about preventing disaster; it's about creating a path through the mess. We can still take action, as catastrophe unfolds. Understanding paths that matter, helps.

Recently a judge supported BlueTriton's permit to keep bottling up #GinnieSprings.

But there is one participant who can decide the fate of Ginnie Springs right now: BlueTriton.

BlueTriton can abandon its plans to plunder Ginnie Springs, preserving its precious #waters for #wildlife and #FutureGenerations alike.

Our sacred territories are the inheritance of our grandparents and parents, and as Indigenous youth, we want to pass on that legacy to our children and #FutureGenerations. We want our medicines and our healthy foods to be here for those who come after us.

That's why we are here, and that's why we must unite. We all have legacies to protect and a world to defend.

In unity,
Nixon

Climate Lawsuit Against the State

“Now is the moment to act, no more waiting. No more excuses. No more pointing fingers. The time is now.”

“Our brains aren’t built for this. Every generation has its struggles but it’s never been extinction.”

Going beyond GDP - inclusive wellbeing & a positive future for #FutureGenerations

The Wellbeing Economy coalition - #Finland #Iceland #Scotland #Wales & #NewZealand expects to expand in the coming months, & aims to transform economies around the world to deliver shared wellbeing for people & the planet.

#WellbeingEconomy - weall.org/about

This report for RSPB Cymru, WWF Cymru and Wales Environment Link by Stuart Housden OBE sets out the case for a target-led strategy to deliver a reinvigorated ecosystem in #Wales. https://waleslink.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Report_-Nature-Recovery-June-2021.pdf

Top take-outs:

🦋 We need to measure and improve species abundance, distribution and extinction risk
🦋 We need to measure and improve habitat quality and extent
🦋 We need to prioritise nature-based solutions to climate change
🦋 Nature needs to be integrated as a strategic theme in all Welsh Government portfolios

#Cymru #Sustainability #FutureGenerations
Welsh Government has published the new Programme for Government to take us from 2021 to 2026.

Plenty to dig into here. Some headlines for well-being and #sustainability are:

👉 Develop a tidal lagoon challenge
👉 A new 120-year Wales infrastructure investment plan
👉 Lift the ban on local authorities setting up new bus companies
👉 Abolish single use plastics (! but Internal market bill?!)
👉 National Forest from north to south
👉 Clean Air Act for Wales
👉 New National Park
👉 Oppose extraction of fossil fuels on land and in water
👉 Consult on a tourism levy
👉 Decarbonise more homes
👉 Establish a Peace Academy
