ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
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.
