☢ Conservation First or Nuclear First? <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=fd3ff39155&e=45743fde61>  ON can't have it both ways. We can't say we're for ‘Conservation First’ while rebuilding 10 nuclear reactors at much higher cost. To really put Conservation First we have to pay for all efficiency measures that are lower cost than rebuilding old nuclear reactors. Read our new report: Conservation First: the next steps <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=6334b3f607&e=45743fde61> .

But a new study also lists the feeling of self-worth among the people involved, the acquisition of new skills, greater competence in dealing with local government, and a general increase in public willingness to be involved as citizens and politically, thereby strengthening democracy. In addition, many of these projects go up in rural areas, thereby strengthening these economically struggling communities.
