Blessed to have been invited to share about our work connecting the dots on nukes, data centers and tech companies…👏🏽🙌🏽

If you wanna know some of what we been up to with work and CRAFT in the last yr….read this update….been on quite a few more adventures since then too….Wado and Migwetch…

The Summer Solstice is a key time of the year across the world with different peoples holding different beliefs about the day including scientific, cultural and religious. It is a significant moment here on earth for sure. CRAFT believes cycles are a part of the natural world that we all belong to a

Somethin’ Ain’t Right. Fermi 2 can’t seem to reach 100% power and DTE won’t explain why. What’s keeping Fermi at only 83%

To shed a bit of light on the timeline of events:

On March 23rd, Fermi 2 shut down for refueling.
On May 18th, a fire started below the main generator at Fermi 2 and the plant was manually shut down to extinguish the fire.
On May 22nd, a second attempt to restart the plant was made after the initial restart post-refueling outage.
On June 1st, by the time we went to press for our June newsletter, the plant was at 83% power.

It is now July 3rd and the plant is still only at 83% power. Why?
We don’t know and DTE won’t tell us.

There is no current proof about why Fermi has continued to fail to reach 100% power. DTE energy has not filed any paperwork or shared any public comment as to why. Supposedly, you could call to ask why. But that doesn’t work either.

Grandmother Jessie — one of the founding members of CRAFT, author of the CRAFT monthly newsletters, and community elder — has tried to call the info line multiple times where you supposedly, “Leave your name, number, and issue” and they will call you back.

They have NEVER called her back.

If you want to try your own luck and ask them what’s up with the plant, call the line yourself at 313-235-5555 and let us know if you receive an answer.

If you want more information on Fermi 2’s power, take a look at the CRAFT monthly newsletters! You can sign up to receive them at the top of each month at the lynx in our b1o!

New Blog Drop, covering some recent important adventures and work….

The state of things and nuclear issues right now is a mess and almost seems hopeless at times. On one hand you have leftover nuclear issues dating back almost 100 years at this point in time and on the other hand you have a push for new reactors/nuclear bombs and new uranium mining. This second hand

Recently Jesse Deer In Water was invited on behalf of CRAFT to attend the Southwest Uranium Gathering. Which brought trusted frontline groups and individuals from the Southwest and other strategic/impacted areas that work on uranium and nuclear issues with an Indigenous lense.

As we know, this administration, the Dept. of Energy (DOE), and the nuclear industry are diving head first into new uranium mining and fuel fabrication. This shows up as new mines in the Southwest and fuel fabrication in other locations across the country for new bombs and fuels for small modular nuclear reactors.

All of the people present currently work on and are impacted by old nuclear issues, like the ones we usually share about. We listened to one another about challenges and wins as well as concerns about what's to come and what we can do to stand stronger together. We worked out a statement of solidarity to help guide and navigate through the times ahead together.

This work is sacred, a high calling, and important. Shout out to the Multicultural Alliance for Safe Energy (MASE) and Indigenous Environmental Network for facilitating and bringing us together. Also much love to those who do the work day in and day out and those who suffered the consequences of uranium mining and the nuclear fuel chain. This is for you.

Many Wados and Big Miigwech
