معلومات عن هذه الحلقة
Investigative journalist Karl Grossman has had his eye on nuclear energy since the 1970s. Grossman, an author and nationally syndicated television host turned journalism professor and co-founder of the anti-nuclear proliferation group, Beyond Nuclear, told producer J.D. Allen that the shift to nuclear power to fight climate change is just baloney — a result of media failures since the fight to stop the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant on Long Island.
This is a director’s cut of America's Nuclear Future, a national radio broadcast special from American Public Media.
