Oregon Fair Share worked on the issue of fair utility rates, and it won a major victory in restructuring electricity rates around the state so that they no longer favored larger consumers of power and instead benefitted ordinary folks, smaller consumers. This example is instructive for how our unthinking ways of doing things — evolved out of a time vastly different from today — are mechanically undermining our lives; how they could be changed to benefit us given a little thought to the matter; and finally, how citizens can use their strength in numbers to take action to effect such necessary change. So let me elaborate a little on this victory of Oregon Fair Share. These utility rates proposed by Oregon Fair Share — “lifeline rates,” as they are called — are still in effect. Notice, their intent was simple — to effect an environmental advantage for us, while making things better for ordinary folks. And how? By taking away the unfair advantage given almost routinely to the big and the powerful. For the utility rate structure had been set up previously so that the more electricity you used, the lower the rate per kilowatt hour you would pay. Kind of like the way you pay… 2.

2. ACTIVISM, NUCLEAR, AND INSANITY Page 17 — along with themselves, their own species.... This suicide by the human race is something I have termed, humanicide.... But the second topic — the psychology of apocalypse — brings me around to the first again, the nuclear issue. Activism Let me back up a second. I am an author, now, but for most of my life I was a psychotherapist who specialized in primal therapy and holotropic breathwork. As well, I am a prenatal and perinatal psychologist, and a philosopher. Most recently, I have been advancing theory in the field of ecopsychology in a number of works.1 However, I am also an activist. For a year and a half, from the fall of 1981 to the spring of 1983, I worked for an organization called Oregon Fair Share. I worked as a canvasser out of the Springfield, Oregon, office. The organization was an attempt to work on any issue that the community deemed it wanted addressed, kind of like a public, non-work-related union ... gathering folks together collectively to have strength in numbers to go up against the large entities in our world determining things for us ... government, corporations, you know what I mean....

“Even when realizing their lives and those of their families were at stake, their response was they wished to not know and to live their lives blissfully ignorant until it should actually be at hand.... Is it any wonder the media does not address it?” You might ask what it is that I bring to this issue that has not already been said. What is it you will get by reading my take and hearing my input on this? Well, one thing pertains to the nuclear issue. The other, to the question of why is this all happening. That is, what are the psychological components of a situation where a species can actually and without a second thought bring down the entire ecosphere — which is called ecocide I.

Well, that is how I was feeling. I watched in a kind of stunned horror, knowing what I knew about an extinction-level event that had occurred, and it brought me to tears thinking how oblivious folks were to the monster around them. America was shaken after the Twin Towers came down. Little did folks know that something of literally the magnitude of two hundred and thirty thousand-plus times more dire was going on. That is, the number of people who died in the Twin Towers versus the number of people who will die in the world when the radioactivity of the globe, rising as I speak, begins having people expire in droves. So that should give you an idea of what I will be addressing as we continue in this book: How it is that all life on this planet is in danger of being snuffed out — and for a minimum of five-hundred-thousand years, so in human terms, virtually forever — and what the hell is wrong with folks that we idly go about our lives while we are bringing this about. As well, considering my background in activism, how it is important to take action, regardless how futile it might seem, if only for the benefit of the relief it brings to you when you do something, any action, no matter how small, on an issue that feels overwhelming. So yes, I’ll be revealing the results of my forty-plus years of experience of looking for the answers as to why humanity might be… 2. ACTIVISM, NUCLEAR, AND INSANITY Page 23

Yet nuclear war is not even the most pressing concern. How often are you told by the media that an extinction-level event has already occurred? That’s right, it was called, Fukushima. Surely you’ve heard of it. They did report about it at the time. Though how much have you heard lately? You see, Fukushima is still leaking radiation into the oceans and the Earth, is still in danger of a total meltdown on the order of the China syndrome. No, we’re not hearing anything about it. What I’ve heard from friends when they talk about the issue is they’re glad that was taken care of and that it’s good the worst didn’t happen. Wow. They have no idea. Other friends, when made aware of the facts of the situation, have argued that since there is nothing one can do about it, they do not want to know about it. Even when realizing their lives and those of their families are at stake, their response was they wished to not know and to live their lives blissfully ignorant until it should actually be at hand. This appears to be a prevalent attitude ... even among our top governmental officials and politicians, unfortunately. Is it any wonder the media does not address it? Not only does cover-up and denial benefit the powerful corporations influencing events who want to continue raping the Earth and reaping the world’s wealth, but people do not want to know about this. Of course, the media will follow suit! Then there is the attitude of those who would ignore what they… I. APOCALYPSE AND INSANITY Page 22

The consequences are so huge, no one, I mean no one has accurately depicted it. We’ve got folks like Thomas K. Jones — the man Ronald Reagan had appointed Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, Strategic and Theater Nuclear Forces — saying we can survive nuclear attack. He said, “If there are enough shovels to go around, everybody’s going to make it.... It’s the dirt that does it.” Relatedly, we have TV shows like Jericho depicting folks having a picnic a day after a nuclear attack, with fallout having just descended the day before, because ... guess what? ... the rain washed it away!! Even the documentaries that have portrayed nuclear war and nuclear winter have watered it down so as to make it palatable to be viewed on television. You think climate deniers are bad? Hell, you have no idea how much denial there is about the nuclear issue, even in progressive circles, even in environmental groups. Yet nuclear war is not even the most pressing concern.

No. We are talking about the end of virtually all life on this planet, save a few microscopic animals, like the tardigrades, also known as water bears, who are able to live inside the radiation at the mouths of volcanoes.

2.

For starters, folks like to address the issue of climate change. Heck, it is visible, and feelable. As the oceans rise, days are hotter and increasingly erratic weather and powerful storms ravage the planet and kill folks. However, I often point out in my books, often as a starting premise, that we are bringing about the end of life on this planet. And I am constantly challenged on that. Constantly. It is so tiring. No one believes all life is at risk. So I have to explain. And this is what I wish to bring to bear now: an understanding of the immensity of the issue of extinction, when we bring the nuclear issue into consideration. For we are talking about not just the end of half the species alive now within twenty to fifty years, which is happening and is plenty dire in and of itself.

Once Springfield defaulted, all other municipalities in the Northwest United States followed suit. The investors had to swallow the consequences of their bad investment. Remember, the entire Northwest of the United States had contracted to build these nuclear plants in Washington State, the WPPSS plants. So, when Springfield defaulted on the bonds, and the rest of the Northwest U.S. followed, it effectively ended nuclear plant construction in the United States. This action, extending its grasp to cover the nation, broke the arms of the nuclear industry No more applications until 2012 were submitted in the United States to build a nuclear power plant. Construction on one hundred plants that were being built at the time was abandoned. Even the applications in 2012 pertained to nuclear sites that already had nuclear reactors in operation. No new ground for nuclear plants has been broken in the United States since our action in Springfield, Oregon, in 1983. Summing up, these two items, lifeline utility rates and the default on WPPSS nuclear plants, show the success that can come of activism. I. APOCALYPSE AND INSANITY Page 20

Once Springfield defaulted, all other municipalities in the Northwest United States followed suit. The investors had to swallow the consequences of their bad investment. Remember, the entire Northwest of the United States had contracted to build these nuclear plants in Washington State, the WPPSS plants. So, when Springfield defaulted on the bonds, and the rest of the Northwest U.S. followed, it effectively ended nuclear plant construction in the United States. This action, extending its grasp to cover the nation, broke the arms of the nuclear industry No more applications until 2012 were submitted in the United States to build a nuclear power plant. Construction on one hundred plants that were being built at the time was abandoned. Even the applications in 2012 pertained to nuclear sites that already had nuclear reactors in operation. No new ground for nuclear plants has been broken in the United States since our action in Springfield, Oregon, in 1983. Summing up, these two items, lifeline utility rates and the default on WPPSS nuclear plants, show the success that can come of activism. I. APOCALYPSE AND INSANITY Page 20

We would be paying to cover the costs of the bad decisions made by those investors and municipal and regional officials who had decided on building them. So, twelve-thousand dollars per household to cover up a huge mistake of investors and officials, and all without getting a kilowatt hour of power out of it. Well, we created an uprising in the early Eighties, in Springfield and Eugene as well as around the state, which resulted in the city of Springfield, in 1983, refusing to shoulder those costs and instead taking the loss in their bond rating that resulted. Specifically, our community activism triggered public outcries, marching in the streets, and eventually precipitated a lawsuit, which, winning, caused the city of Springfield to default on the bonds issued to fund the plants. The lawsuit hinged on a piece of information dug up by the research arm of Oregon Fair Share: The City Charter of Springfield stipulated that its citizens could not be indebted above a specified amount without a vote of the people. The cost overruns at the WPPSS plants were such an exorbitant indebtedness, way above what the City Charter allowed. Since there had been no vote in Springfield, default on the bonds was the only legal course. Once Springfield defaulted, all other municipalities in the Northwest United States followed suit. The investors had to swallow the consequences of their bad investment.

talk to at the door, of the benefits of strength in numbers ... and how that worked in tackling the large issues. However, the major issue we were working on was the nuclear one. I don’t need to lay out the dangers of nuclear weapons, nuclear waste, and such to you, I know. Yet keep in mind, nuclear weapons could hardly be tackled as a local issue. Oh, sure, folks could get a stop sign erected at a dangerous intersection in their neighborhood through the power of Oregon Fair Share. People could also change the rate structure on their electric bill to benefit themselves and the environment. But how does one deal with the problem of burgeoning nuclear waste that is poisoning the globe and nuclear proliferation that threatens our existence at any particular moment. There was a way to go at the problem, however. It had to do with the issue of the cost of nuclear energy. At that time, the nuclear power plants that were being built, in Washington State, were the WPPSS plants (Washington Public Power Supply System). They were facetiously called “whoops” plants, because they were way, way, way over-budget, over-cost. So much so that it was an increasing financial debacle to continue building them. They were so over- budget they were going to end up costing the people in the Northwest part of the country roughly twelve-thousand dollars per household, over time, of course, through increases in their utility bills.3 That price tag was just to mothball the plants; that is, to put the construction done on them at that point under wraps for a time when the… 2.

2. ACTIVISM, NUCLEAR, AND INSANITY Page 19 On the other hand, if at the end of the month you were paying six bucks a gallon wouldn’t you have significant motivation to restrain yourself? Well this is how it worked out in the early Eighties with lifeline rates and Oregon Fair Share. It was a small, but important and long-standing, victory. We were able to cut back the size of the utility bill folks would pay — and it is still a modest amount, even today, I can tell you — while doing something to help the environment by restraining the overconsumption of electricity. I can guarantee you the big operators, who had had it good with cheap electricity, found all kinds of ways to conserve and use less, once they had to pay their fair share. Nuclear When I was canvassing for Oregon Fair Share, we canvassed on that issue, utility rates, lifeline rates, using it as an example, to the folks we’d talk to at the door, of the benefits of strength in numbers ... and how that worked in tackling the large issues. However, the major issue we were working on was the nuclear one. I don’t need to lay out the dangers of nuclear weapons, nuclear waste, and such to you, I know.
