Warheads to Windmills:
How to Pay for the Green New Deal
Please join us Dr. Timmon Wallis and Vicki Elson of NuclearBan.us identify the three major crises threatening the planet today - the climate emergency, expanding nuclear arsenals, extreme inequality - and propose a solution: redirect funds and technology for nukes to the development of green energy and green jobs.
Warheads to Windmills: How to Pay for the Green New Deal, written by Dr. Wallis, provides a detailed analysis of what it will take to adequately address the climate crisis and where the needs funds, scientific and engineering expertise could come from: the nuclear weapons program. To quote Dr. Timmons, "It's not an exaggeration to say that these weapons threaten our very existence as a species, and so does the climate crisis. But if we eliminate nuclear weapons, we can convert an industry of death to an industry of life. We can massive amounts of money to green technologies we need to survive and create millions of jobs."
Please join us early starting at 6:45 to say hello to each other and chat before the official start. We encourage you to check out the minutes from the May meeting posted online
