Engaging Communities on Clean Energy and Its Opportunities
AREVA North America: Next Energy Blog
January 6, 2011
In an op-ed on BETtv.com Maudine R. Cooper, President and CEO of the Greater Washington Urban League and Christine Todd Whitman, former EPA Administrator and Co-Chair of the Clean and Safe Energy Coalition, describe the importance of clean energy development and the growing support in many communities across the United States:
There is a broad coalition ready to support nuclear expansion and leverage the benefits derived from more nuclear energy plants. We recently joined more than 50 leaders from business and academia from within the Hispanic and African-American communities along with labor and industry representatives to focus on how safe, reliable nuclear energy facilities can benefit minority communities. The open dialogue, hosted in Washington D.C. by the Clean and Safe Energy (CASEnergy) Coalition, focused on workforce development, educational partnerships and supplier opportunities for minority communities and businesses.
AREVA representatives attended this CASEnergy discussion in November and continued this dialogue with other attendees and members of our Community Advisory Council.
