Environmentalists protested a serious cause outside the Alamo Drafthouse in South Austin during the opening day of The Simpsons movie.
Three environmental groups, Public Citizen, The Lone Star chapter of the Sierra Club and SEED Coalition promoted nuclear awareness while dressed as Springfield's finest.
Members of the environmental groups say Texas needs to meet its energy needs with renewable sources, not by turning to dangerous sources.
"In the past few months the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has received numerous applications from companies to build new nuclear plants here in Texas and throughout the nation. We think it's too expensive, too risky and we still don't have a way to treat the nuclear waste that results," Cyrus Reed of the Sierra Club said.
The groups also say they plan to launch a website in the next few months to document problems with the nuclear industry.
FACEPALM
it’s not nuclear, it NU-CU-LER. Get it right dammit.
