Description
In our latest episode, we talk with journalist Joshua Frank (@joshua_frank) about his book, "Atomic Days: The Untold Story of the Most Toxic Place in America," which details the story of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State and a $677 billion environmental cleanup site. We also talk about the resurgence of nuclear power, its toxic legacy and the deadly impacts of its entire life cycle. We also discuss the left's recent embrace of it as a "renewable energy" source, how the pro-nuke leftists are doing the bidding of the nuclear industry and why the left must oppose nuclear power.
