Nu-cle-ar energy is not clean, no matter what they claim!

Ob-taining u-ran-ium to fuel it is… not a one time thing!

It causes cancer when-ever it’s mined, and the same is true when it’s re-fined!

Nu-cle-ar energy is not clean, no matter what they claim!

 

Nu-cle-ar energy’s carbon-free… or that’s what they pretend!

In truth it generates six times more than solar or wind.

With cancer here and asthma there, pol-lu-tion and climate change ev‘rywhere!

Nu-cle-ar energy’s not carbon-free, no matter what they claim!

 

Nu-cle-ar waste is hot for TWO… HUN-dred THOU-sand YEARS!

With no safe place for sto-rage, it de-serves the public’s fears!

Leaky drums here..leaky drums there..here a leak, there a leak, ev‘rywhere a bleepin’ leak!

Nu-cle-ar energy is not safe, no matter what they claim!

 

Constructing Nu-cle-ar costs four times… more than solar or wind,

plus melt-downs, safeguarding wastes, and old plants to defend.

Sem-i-melt-down here, a Fu-ku-shi-ma there, hundreds of billions of dollars ev’rywhere!

Nu-cle-ar energy is not cheap, no matter what they claim!

 

Nu-cle-ar waste can be turned into a nu-cle-ar wea-pon

leading to more nu-cle-ar… pro-li-fer-a-tion

With a little war here and a little war theresoon we’ll have wars ev‘ry-where!

So, the number of nu-cle-ar plants we need… is pre-cise-ly NONE!

 

NO MORE NUCLEAR PLANTS IN ARIZONA… OR ANYWHERE !!!
