"We're going to be pursuing a more aggressive direct-action policy," said Kudzu member Melanie Scheller. "There are still a lot of people who don't even know Shearon Harris exists " Kudzu members are planning an anti nuclear rally at the N.C. Utilities Commission hearings on energy conservation Sept. 6 in Raleigh. The group will hold an energy conservation seminar at the Jaycee Center in Raleigh Aug. 31, Scheller said. "A real commitment to conservation could reduce demand for electricity to the point where we don't even need nuclear power," Kudzu organizer Amy Arrendell said. "Conservation is much more desirable than nuclear power," she said. "There are cheaper and safer energy alternatives."

"We feel than non-violent, direct action tactics picketing, demonstrating and leafleting can put pressure on public officials to make them realize that the nuclear power question is an issue for the people to decide," Arrendell said. "The people have to pay for the plants and live with whatever level of radiation may be emitted during the transporting and storage of nuclear wastes," she said. But Kudzu Alliance supporters have not ruled out civil disobedience as an effective way of getting their message through, Scheller said. "Members of Kudzu Alliance tend to be law abiding citizens," Scheller said. "We have respect for government and we're willing to go through the legal mechanisms. "But when it becomes obvious that governmental processes are not responsive to the needs of the people, then an act of civil disobedience is apt to occur," she said. "Our feeling is anger because we are not getting a fair response from the government or from CP&L (Carolina Power & Light Co., the firm developing the Harris plant 20 miles from Chapel 1, 1978, RUN Arthur Tagmation Needs.

Kudzu members plan to rally residents near the nuclear plant site against the project, Arrendell said She said the anti nuclear group will set up tables at UNC and other campuses to distribute literature on nuclear power. Other Kudzu activities may include enacting a mock truck shipment of nuclear fuel to illustrate the routes used to transport waste materials, Arrendell said. The Conservation Council of North Carolina has appealed the Shearon Harris construction permit to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Kudzu leaders said they are asking the commission to hold the required public hearing in North Carolina.
