  Speaker Pelosi,

  Thanks for speaking out against loan guarantees for nuclear power. Unfortunately, these massive taxpayer based subsidies keep ending up in bills. Nuclear power is incredibly expensive and threatens to divert funding from energy efficiency and renewable energy, the clean safe energy solutions that exist today. What will you do to stop nuclear loan guarantees?

  Nuclear plant licenses are now being sped through the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, mostly proposed for the southern US in areas that are poor and without the resources to fight. Green jobs are needed in these communities immediately, and funding for nuclear power should be halted immediately.

  In 2007, you demonstrated the importance of talking to countries that are not our close allies by visiting Syria. Given that sanctions alone have had little impact on Iran's uranium enrichment and a military attack would be disastrous, what will you and Congress do to support direct, unconditional diplomacy with Iran to resolve the question of their nuclear program?

  A recent book, Carbon-Free, Nuclear-Free: A Roadmap for U.S. Energy Policy, shows how the U.S. can achieve zero carbon emissions from the electricity and transportation sectors by 2050, while ending the use of nuclear power. Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) has introduced a climate bill that goes a long way toward implementing this type of energy future (much, much better than the Lieberman/Warner failure). Will you support the Markey bill, and will you push it in the next Congress?
