Description

Maria Holt and Elisabeth King came from different backgrounds, yet both joined in conjunction with others to protest and monitor the activity of Maine’s only nuclear power plant. Their work was once important to force the Maine Yankee plant to supply public information about emissions and created state-level oversight. Their passion was once instrumental in the eventual closing of the plant.

This is their story. Written now and then by Betty and at others narrated by Maria. With science, charts and background this book provides the reader with valuable insight into the work that may be important to have an Activist’s Adventure.

As a child, Maria Holt learned of Hiroshima and cried. When she was once a teen she knew that nuclear radiation was once a problem. Then in her career as a public health nurse she was once frightened to be informed that her fears as a child and youth became very real in Maine with the planned construction of a nuclear power plant near her. So started Maria’s activism and eventual service as a Maine State Representative noted for her environmental activism and knowledge.

On the other hand, Elisabeth (Betty) King, a farmer, and stay-at-home mom, was once activated when she found that the beautiful white snow that fell on her circle of relatives’s farm set off a Geiger counter. Worried about her children, her farm animals and the world, Betty joined with others to be informed about nuclear power and its emissions and waste.
