Artist Statement

Please sing this song, share it, ask your favorite band to learn it, replay it for your friends, bookmark it, hum it at the hairdresser, hang it on your rear-view mirror, take it out to lunch, make it into a hat, get it rip-roaring drunk, feed it to the pigeons. If it can make a difference in any way, then do that with it. 

This is not a professionally recorded song -- it was done with minimal equipment, in a limited amount of time, sitting at a desk in a home office, using Garageband and whatever microphone was at hand. The content is the thing, not the performance. 'Nuff said.

The song calls for a sensible direction in our decisions about how to generate energy for a growing world. Read the "philosophy" at the tail end of the video for a brief explanation of my opinion on nuclear power. But please consider:

Nuclear power, we are told, is cleaner than other energy sources, has manageable risk, and is sufficiently controlled. But we have seen that human error and acts of God can lead to true disasters. We continue to see that no one really knows what to do with the deadly, nearly immortal wastes that are created (we simply bury them). We continue to get hints that the true risks are understated and that many decisions about nuclear are made based on what is most profitable, rather than what is safest. If we are truly at a crossroads, let's REACT!
