“Nuclear Power: Why NOT?” Poster Exhibition
May Poetter Gallery, 342 Bull St., Savannah, Ga.
Is nuclear power the solution to global warming? While emissions from fossil fuel power plants have proven to be of immediate danger to the environment, the 'distant' threats and significant taxpayer burdens of nuclear power are not often understood. The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy is a non-profit organization that advocates responsible long-term solutions to America's energy needs, and has struggled with creating effective visuals to convey the less tangible dangers and the hidden costs of nuclear power. Graduate graphic design students designed posters for the organization as part of Scott Boylston's Poster Design class to raise awareness of the shortcomings and potential dangers of relying too heavily on nuclear power for our future energy solutions. A reception will be held Aug. 21, 5:30-7 p.m.
