Fellow Clean Energy Advocates,
 The worsening nuclear crisis in Japan underscores the catastophic potential of nuclear power, especially in unstable earthquake zones. Our hearts are with those now suffering from this horrible tragedy.
We must also take this opportunity to speak out for real solutions like local, clean, and safe renewable energy, which is the focus of our Second Annual Clean Power, Healthy Communities Conference, March 17-18.
