Fuel in Fukushima's Reactor One has melted
  Dear Friends, A huge thanks to all of you who helped send a loud and clear message to BNP Paribas and HSBC yesterday! Please click here if you haven't contacted the banks yet, or forward this email if you have.  From Buenos Aires to Bombay, tens of thousands of concerned individuals used telephones, emails, demonstrations and even fax machines to demand that these banks learn the lessons of Fukushima and withdraw their funding from dangerous and ill-conceived nuclear projects like that proposed in Jaitapur, India.To everyone who participated: Your actions have made it impossible for the boards of these banks to ignore the massive global opposition to continued nuclear expansion. Thank you! The relevance and importance of our campaign continues to be confirmed almost daily by increasingly disastrous news from Japan. As reports today confirm that fuel in Fukushima's reactor one has melted and the situation continues to slip further and further out of control, the folly of proposals to build plants like Jaitapur becomes evermore starkly obvious. Yet, despite the currently unfolding and constantly worsening nuclear crisis in Japan, banks such as BNP Paribas and HSBC still consider puting billions dollars/Euros required to fund such risky nuclear projects in geologically unstable areas. It is more important than ever that we call on banks to lead our planet into a future of secure, sustainable and clean energy by withdrawing funding for demonstrably dangerous nuclear and providing desperately needed investment in safe, clean, renewable energy. If you haven't already let the banks know that you want them to stop funding dangerous nuclear projects and take the lead towards a safe, sustainable energy future, you still can. Visit our website to send your email now If you are already one of the thousands who put their concerns and demands in writing, thank you for your support. Why not follow up your email and keep the pressure on by sending a personal direct message to the banks - we have collected a list of public contacts from BNP Paribas and HSBC here. The more the banks hear from all of us - the better! Kind regards Joao Talocchi Greenpeace campaigner
