RE: Comments on Complex 2030

As a concerned American, I very strongly oppose the Complex 2030 proposal for a new nuclear bomb factory to produce the next generation of nuclear weapons. 

This giant, costly facility would threaten human and environmental health as well as U.S. nonproliferation goals.  The U.S. government has a moral and legal obligation to eliminate its nuclear weapons, yet this proposal would indefinitely sustain our ability to build new nuclear weapons.  It has taken years to create and strengthen the international nuclear nonproliferation regime. The Complex 2030 proposal undermines these international nonproliferation structures and agreements. At a time when the U.S. government is demanding other countries adhere to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, it is not meeting its own obligations to pursue nuclear disarmament “in good faith.”  As Representative Ed Markey (MA) said, “America cannot preach nuclear temperance from a barstool.”
 
The administration claims that Complex 2030 is needed to reduce the U.S. nuclear arsenal. However, the United States government has the capability to decommission its nuclear warheads without the construction of a new facility that actually enables greater warhead production.

Complex 2030 poses a grave threat to our environment and to humanity’s survival.  Please cancel this terrible proposal.
