#2 Kunst is geen mening met Heleen Hoogendijk Deze week in ETEN IS WETEN schuift Heleen Hoogendijk aan, de kracht achter de documentaire Paved Paradise, een docu die zich richt op vaak over het hoofd geziene thema binnen de voedselproductie: landgebruik. Heleen deelt over de kracht van film en kunst om nieuwe perspectieven te openen en vastgeroeste debatten te doorbreken. Het gesprek verkent ook hoe de mensheid zich verhoudt tot het domesticeren van dieren, zoals het feit dat kippen niet kunnen vliegen door menselijke interventie, tegenover de ontembaarheid van zebra's. Dit leidt tot de bredere vraag: hoe domesticeerbaar zijn wij zelf? Er wordt diep ingegaan op de noodzaak om de uitstoot van broeikasgassen te verminderen, gezien de beperkte hoeveelheid koolstof die nog gebruikt kan worden zonder de globale temperatuurstijging boven de 2% te laten uitkomen. Dit brengt een aantal richtingen naar voren voor voedselproductie: meer intensieve landbouw, het halveren van voedselverspilling, gezondere diëten, het toepassen van de beste landbouwpraktijken, en een verschuiving naar plant-rijke diëten. Hidde brengt punt naar voren over het aandeel van de landbouw in het BNP versus het Europese budget, en wil korte metten maken met de boodschap die rondgaat dat boeren subsidieslurpers zouden zijn. De episode sluit af met een reflectie op de intentie achter de slogan "nooit meer honger", die naast het voeden van de na-oorlogse bevolking, vooral ook de positie van de boerenstand wilde verbeteren.  Luister naar deze aflevering voor een dialoog over de nuances van ons voedselsysteem, de invloed van kunst op maatschappelijke debatten en de complexiteit van landbouwbeleid. Feit #1 De langst geregistreerde vlucht van een kip duurde 13 seconden

Con un acceso sin precedentes a la industria nuclear en Francia, Rusia y Estados Unidos, Nuclear Now explora la posibilidad de que la comunidad global supere los desafíos del cambio climático y la pobreza energética para alcanzar un futuro mejor a través del poder de la energía nuclear. Debajo de nuestros pies, los átomos de uranio en la corteza terrestre contienen una energía increíblemente concentrada. La ciencia desató esta energía a mediados del siglo XX, primero para bombas y luego para impulsar submarinos. Estados Unidos lideró el esfuerzo para generar electricidad a partir de esta nueva fuente. Sin embargo, a mediados del siglo XX, cuando las sociedades comenzaron la transición hacia la energía nuclear y se alejaron de los combustibles fósiles, comenzó una campaña de relaciones públicas a largo plazo para asustar al público, financiada en parte por intereses del carbón y el petróleo. Esta campaña sembraría miedo sobre la radiación inofensiva de bajo nivel y crearía confusión entre las armas nucleares y la energía nuclear. Mirando de frente el problema, Oliver Stone nos muestra que el conocimiento es el antídoto contra el miedo, y que nuestro ingenio humano nos permitirá resolver la crisis del cambio climático si lo utilizamos.

A retired commander in the nuclear navy, Rod Adams has spent most of his life working on and around nuclear energy. In his second appearance on the podcast (the first was in December 2020), Rod explains how high interest rates are hurting nuclear startups like NuScale Power, why Georgia Power had such huge cost overruns on the new reactors at Plant Vogtle, why he's skeptical about fusion, and why, “if you have energy, you can do anything.” (Recorded November 21, 2023.)

New research is showing that antimicrobial chemicals called quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), which are widely used in disinfectants, pesticides and personal care products, are linked to numerous health concerns like asthma and infertility. But there are major gaps in regulation of these chemicals.  Also, over seven years poet Camille Dungy gradually transformed her sterile Fort Collins, Colorado lawn into a pollinator haven teeming with native plants and the wildlife they attract. Her book “Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden” recounts that journey alongside a world in turmoil amid the coronavirus pandemic, police violence and wildfires. Camille talks about how all her hard work amending hard clay soil has yielded gifts of joy as well as metaphors. And 2,000 people from across the globe recently gathered in Paris to work towards a UN treaty to eliminate plastic pollution. We paint a picture of a world with far less plastic and how we can get there. -- And thanks to our sponsors: “Nuclear Now”, a new documentary from award-winning director Oliver Stone.

Director and co-writer Oliver Stone (“Wall Street,” “JFK,” “W”) and co-writer Joshua S. Goldstein (Professor Emeritus of International Relations, American University) join Chris to discuss “Nuclear Now,” their film investigating whether nuclear power is a crucial tool in fighting climate change and the world's energy needs. In a wide-ranging conversation, the three explore how and why nuclear energy fell out of favor in the United States, the pervasiveness of anti-nuclear propaganda campaigns, why people who understand nuclear power the most are the least afraid of the technology, nuclear misconceptions surrounding disasters, waste storage, and water consumption, how the international community continues to embrace nuclear power, and much more. Follow and subscribe to The Chris Cuomo Project on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube for new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.

We opened the show by asking listeners their take on Boston's expanded Open Streets program. We spoke with Oliver Stone and Joshua Goldstein to discuss “Nuclear Now”, a new film based on Goldstein's book “A Bright Future”. It makes the case for nuclear energy as a solution to climate change. Then, we asked listeners to call in with their thoughts on nuclear power. We aired last night's After Hours event: a wide-ranging conversation with Rep. Ayanna Pressley, a chat with Boston Arts Academy Spirituals Ensemble director Michael Bradley, and performances from the ensemble.

The EPA is trying again with power plant rules to fight climate change, but this time, the agency is backed up by statutes in the Inflation Reduction Act. It's using these to carefully craft new rules designed to survive legal challenges.  Also, the Africa recipient of this year's Goldman Environmental Prize joins us to share how he organized a community and brought a UK based mining company to justice for polluting a river in Zambia with waste from an open pit copper mine that sickened locals and killed fish.  And in nature, some animals live far longer than humans, and some don't appear to age at all. One species of jellyfish can continually revert back to a juvenile stage, making it essentially immortal. Unlocking nature's secrets to longevity and how humans can live longer.  -- And thanks to our sponsors: Oregon State University.

We are thrilled to be sharing this Special Edition COBT with you. The new film "Nuclear Now" is just a week away from hitting theaters and we had the opportunity to not only see it early but also to visit with the film's acclaimed director, Oliver Stone, as well as Professor Joshua Goldstein, the co-writer of the book that inspired the film ("A Bright Future: How Some Countries Have Solved Climate Change and the Rest Can Follow"). Oliver is an Academy Award-winning director, screenwriter, producer, and author of "Chasing the Light." As you may know, some of his renowned work includes "Scarface," "Platoon," "Born on the 4th of July," "Wall Street," and "Midnight Express." Professor Goldstein is an award-winning scholar of international relations and an expert on war and society. Mike Bradley, Brett Rampal and I had the pleasure of hosting Oliver and Josh, talking about the key aspects of the movie, and delving where we could into the broader issues the movie raises.   In our discussion, Oliver describes how a review of "A Bright Future" in the New York Times sparked his interest in nuclear as part of the solution to address climate change. It took two and a half years to create the film, which covers not only the history of how the technology was developed but also its high and low moments in popular perception. We touch on Oliver's takeaways from studying different aspects of American society and the overall misrepresentation of nuclear power that the film aims to correct. Josh provides background on how nuclear power and nuclear war became conflated, much to nuclear power's detriment. We also discuss Admiral Hyman Rickover and his development of naval nuclear-powered submarines, the Hollywood community's unfortunate portrayal of nuclear that's added to the narrative over the years, and the team's experience finding experts to interview as part of the film. Oliver also shares his perspective on international cooperation around nuclear and both he and Josh comment on the significant amount of fact checking that took place to create the film. “Nuclear Now" is technical in its approach and goes into significant detail around historical, existing, newer and future potential nuclear technology.   Nuclear Now opens to the public on May 1st in select theaters across the US and Canada. The film will also be available via streaming at a later date – you can sign up for updates on that release. If you are interested in more nuclear content, last month Veriten debuted a podcast dedicated entirely to the world of nuclear, power, and industrial heat called Gener8. We hope you can take time to dig in and learn more.   We want to thank Oliver, Josh, and the team behind Nuclear Now for improving the conversation around nuclear energy, for injecting more optimism into the energy/environment/climate discussion, and for spending an hour with us engaging on the film. We hope you all enjoy the film as much as we did!

On Apr 28, the much anticipated film, Nuclear Now, will premier in selected theaters in New York, Sedona and Los Angeles. It will remain available in those venues for a week. On May 1, 2023, the film will be shown at 350 theaters across the US and Canada. The film is co-written by Oliver Stone...

The EPA is proposing to cut the amount of toxic air pollutants industrial sources are allowed to emit. The targeted chemicals include known carcinogens that have long contaminated communities in Appalachia and Louisiana's “Cancer Alley.”  Also, there are many sources of hidden plastic in the waste that wealthy countries send to the developing world, in clothing, tires, and electronics. How all that extra plastic waste is affecting the environment and health of people in the Global South. And the government offers a $7,500 tax credit to new car buyers to help meet a goal that 50% of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. should be electric by 2030. But to qualify, cars must now meet a new set of requirements.  -- Join us for our next free Living on Earth Book Club event! “Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden” with Camille T.

America can't meet its goals of reducing carbon pollution from power plants unless power grids get major upgrades and rules to bring clean energy online are detangled. We'll explore the challenges and opportunities facing implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act.  Also, the Black residents of “Cancer Alley” in Louisiana have filed a civil rights and religious liberty lawsuit against the parish council that has given a green light to these polluting facilities for decades. Learn the history of environmental racism and resistance in “Cancer Alley.” And koalas begin life naked and tiny as a jellybean with none of the fur that makes them look so darn cuddly. As the little joeys grow inside their mothers' pouch, she feeds them a special, messy microbial “soup” to help them digest toxic eucalyptus leaves – and they lap it up!  -- Thanks to our sponsors: “Nuclear Now”, a new documentary from award-winning director Oliver Stone.

My good friend and all around nuclear energy badass Paris Ortiz-Wines of Stand Up for Nuclear swung by to talk about what's changed in the nuclear narrative and what we can and should do about it. It ended up being a far-ranging discussion about fear, hope, and how people change their minds. How can advocates amplify global shifts in the nuclear energy narrative? by Paris Ortiz-WinesCheck out my daily energy newsletter.Go see Nuclear Now!

"When we talk about meeting our climate goals, it's hard to grasp how big that challenge is and how far we have still yet to go... Nuclear [energy] is the technology that's given me hope." Join co-host Anna for a conversation about nuclear energy with Paris Ortiz-Wines, Global Director of Stand Up For Nuclear, an international group of nuclear energy advocates. We discuss the importance of listening to people when they have concerns, contextualizing safety/ risk, and making the space to change our minds & stand up for what we believe in. Check out the new film about nuclear energy, Nuclear Now (in theaters May 1st) to learn more about how it can serve as a critical solution to climate change and world poverty. Episode produced by Anna, featuring music by Miranda And The Beat.

In July 2021, CNN Technical Director, Charlie Chester, in a conversation with an undercover journalist, acknowledged, "We're going to start focusing mainly on climate, like global warming...that's going to be our (CNN's) next focus." If the "climate crisis" is going to be in the headlines, then we feel we all need to know more about it--to separate verifiable and scientific facts from fiction and propaganda, to search beyond the headlines to know the truth. So to that end, we wondered, "What do you know about nuclear energy?" Oliver Stone just announced he has a new documentary, Nuclear Now, coming to theaters April 28th, we wanted to do our own investigation into the power and possibilities, the risks and the benefits, of nuclear energy. So we invited three experts--two are nuclear engineers with over 40 years of experience and another is the research director for a preeminent energy association in the United States--to discuss the power and possibilities of nuclear energy, the benefits, the risks and costs, and whether or not this is a clean source of energy that reduces the carbon footprint on the environment. Whether you fully believe that mankind is responsible for global warming or whether you simply believe mankind should be a good steward of the earth, this is a must-listen conversation to help you understand the nuclear option and why perhaps, as Oliver Stone says in his trailer, "We've been trained from the very beginning to fear nuclear power. The very thing that we fear is what may save us.”

So what, after decades of mistrust against the nuclear boogeyman, made Oliver change his mind? “Fear. Fear and confusion.” His new documentary Nuclear Now debunks years of propaganda, misinformation, and sensationalism, urging us to see that “nuclear energy is the only viable way to get out of this mess.” It turns out, the documentary shows, deaths from nuclear energy are minuscule compared to any other form of energy: “The HBO series Chernobyl is a fear document,” he says. “It's sensationalism. The World Health Organization and the UN did extensive studies and they came out with 4,000 people who possibly died from cancer. A lot of people say millions died, but it's not coming out in any scientific evidence.” And the “disaster” at Fukushima caused one (disputed) death. And there are no other cases. So why are we told nuclear energy is so dangerous? Well first, “keep in mind that the fossil fuel industry has benefitted from renewables.” When you have oil and gas and coal lobbies fighting against you, we've seen too many times how easy it is to get lost in the propaganda. But while renewables like wind and solar energy are good things, Oliver explains that they “won't make the gap. It will not make the continental volume to get where we need to be to really have clean energy.” “An Inconvenient Truth popularized renewables, but here we are twenty fucking years later and we still have the same amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It's not working.” Subscribe for the full interview with Oliver Stone for his take on the Ukraine proxy war and its effect on climate change, his scathing review of the Green Party and their neocon friends, and why he believes “America is divorcing itself from reality.” Learn more about your ad choices.
