Working for a world free from nuclear power and nuclear weapons
Instead of making us more energy independent, operating TMI-1 would make us more dependent on Russian uranium. It’s not the answer to Pennsylvania’s energy needs; it’s a cost center, a resource drain, a morass of risk, and it’s needless.
Pennsylvania ratepayers will foot the bill from Three Mile Island restart, while Microsoft gets the power | Opinion
Restarting a half-century old, disused reactor that has sat idle for eight years is fraught with unknowns and risks.

Did President Trump really mean the US would resume nuclear testing? Because no one else has. Or did he mean testing non-nuclear armed missiles and delivery systems, which the US is already doing? Our take on the dangerous confusion he’s sowing. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2025/10/31/t...

In a post to Truth Social, Trump said “because of other countries’ testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons..." In response, the Nevada congresswoman Dina Titus posted on X: “Absolutely not. I’ll be introducing legislation to put a stop to this.”
