For folks who have been following all the drama that is Calvert Cliffs Reactor #3, here’s the latest update. Warren Buffet and Co wants to buy out Constellation Energy. Constellation Energy is closely connected with EDF, a French nuclear company. On December 23rd, Constellation shareholders are meeting to approve the merger – which means that it’s time for some holiday fun, activist style!

Over the past few months, the Chesapeake Safe Energy Coalition has been gathering signatures on a petition (sign it here if you haven’t yet!) urging Warren Buffet to sever Constellation’s ties with EDF. So we’re going to do a bit of gatecrashing, and deliver the 8,000 plus petition signatures at the shareholders’ meeting, to let them all know that Marylanders want our energy to come from truly renewable sources, not nuclear power. That $10 billion that is being proposed for a nuclear boondoggle could build more than twice as much generating capacity if it’s invested in wind power – and just think of how many buildings we could make energy efficient for the holidays with that much cash!

Want to join in on the fun? We’ll be meeting at 7:45 in the morning at Constellation HQ in Baltimore to hand out candy canes and share our holiday wishes for clean and green energy. Click here for more details on the event and location. And let us know you’re coming! RSVP here or on Facebook.
