Nuclear Atomic Tapestries
Description: The Rocky Flats Nuclear Facility was a Cold War era manufacturing complex just outside of Denver, Colorado, that was operated by Rockwell International between 1952 and 1993. The facility produced plutonium triggers and other components for nuclear weapons, which were shipped to other facilities for assembly into completed nuclear weapons. Insider tips led to Rocky Flats being raided by the FBI and EPA in 1989 who found PCBs, chromic acid, beryllium, and radionuclide emissions had been released into the environment. The facility went into wind down mode before closing in 1993, eventually becoming an EPA Superfund Site where billions of dollars went into the deconstruction and remediation of the landscape, which was completed in 2006.
Description: "Nuclear Power? Yes Please!" Protect the climate by supporting nuclear energy. Misguided environmentalism has ironically led to many nuclear power plants being closed forever without replacement, even though nuclear power generation is the greenest, cleanest, safest and most sustainable existing form of energy. Renewables like wind and solar can't power the world without causing massive damage to the environment (and even then you'll need coal power plants as backup). Climate change (a.k.a. global warming, climate crisis) will not be stopped by renewables but rather accelerated because they actually lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions. Only nuclear power will reduce our collective fossil fuel footprint.
