Nuclear Power is a controversial subject. After incidents at nuclear power plants at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima the public has greatly frowned upon nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is costly, not as clean as nuclear advocates claim and there are serious safety concerns about it. Some quasi-environmentalists/climate change activists are advocating for nuclear energy to be used as an alternative to fossil fuels while others are questioning whether or not these people have lost their god damn minds. On the 11th episode of the Mothman in the Bible Belt Podcast Nuclear Information and Resource Service's Radioactive Waste Project Director Diane D'Arrigo discusses the ins and outs of nuclear energy and nuclear power plants, including proposed small modular nuclear reactors. The West Virginia Legislature's proposed repeal of the state's nuclear power plant ban is also discussed. Two so-called “environmentalists” spoke in favor of HB 2882(one of two bills that would repeal West Virginia's nuclear power plant ban) at a recent public hearing at the West Virginia State Capitol. Snippets of this public hearing are intertwined in the podcast episode. The interview with Diane D'Arrigo took place on January 21st, 2022. The public hearing on HB 2882 took place on January 28th, 2022. HB 2882's sister bill, SB 4, passed the WV House of Delegates on January 31st, 3-days after the public hearing took place. SB 4 currently sits on Gov. Jim Justice's desk. Copyright © 2022 Jeremy Brannon. All Rights Reserved. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mothmaninthebiblebelt/support

Professor Micheal Mann (pictured) is famous for his renowned "hockey stick" that gave a near-perfect image of what is happening with regard to the climate crisis. The American professor has been watching closely what has been happening at COP26 in Glasgow and has said pledges given so far have been encouraging and all that was needed now was for countries to "walk their talk". Professor Tim Flannery is currently in Glasgow as was one of the guests in an event staged by Conversation at the Crossroads, "Can Climate Catastrophe be Averted". With a new electric vehicles strategy and more money for the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, Scott Morrison would appear to be announcing policies to help the nation reach its net-zero emissions goal by 2050. But do these policies represent a true change of heart for the Coalition, or are they just pamphlets with little action attached? Check out a podcast from The Guardian - "Scott Morrison's hollow climate campaigning". Günter Hermeyer from the Nuclear Information and Resource Service was at the climate summit in Glasgow, and told the Australian Conservation Foundation that  "It is very important to look at the whole story". Nuclear power is a dangerous distraction from real climate solutions that are ready to take off in Australia like clean energy from the sun and wind.  Other Quick Climate Links for today are: "The world is going to need a Covax for climate control"; "Government releases modelling underpinning net zero emissions by 2050 target"; "On the brink: will COP26 fail Greta's generation?"; "Coal industry halved by 2050 but greater costs avoided under net-zero plan"; "Calls for Climate Reparations Reach Boiling Point in Glasgow Talks"; "Glasgow climate summit in major backdown on coal, tougher targets"; "Meet the ‘inactivists', tangling up the climate crisis in culture wars"; "COP26 scorecard: Australia vs the world"; "World needs trillions to face climate threat: draft UN report"; "Here's how the government's modellers concluded net-zero would leave us better off"; "COP26: New Zealand depends on robust new rules for global carbon trading to meets its climate pledge"; "COP26 leaves too many loopholes for the fossil fuel industry.

Biologist Mary Olson's life's mission is to bring to light to the disproportionate impact of radiation on girls and women. Through her work as a staff biologist and policy analyst at Nuclear Information and Resource Service, Olson has spent decades working for greater health and greater protection for people in communities impacted by nuclear activities. After the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011, Olson decided to pursue questions about greater harm to girls and women from ionizing exposures. Mary is now the founder of Gender + Radiation Impact Project, their mission is to catalyze better choices for preventing unintended exposure to low level ionizing radiation and an overall reduction in harm – for everyone, but especially little girls who are most impacted by radiation exposure. Ionizing radiation as “radiation with enough energy so that during an interaction with an atom, it can remove tightly bound electrons from the orbit of an atom, causing the atom to become charged or ionized.” Ionizing radiation can be found in many places in our modern world, including residue and waste from the nuclear industry, both electric power and weapon production, medical procedures like x-rays and CT scans, and even air travel. For every two men who develop cancer through exposure to ionizing radiation, three women will get the disease. With Mary we talk about how radiation impacts girls and women, the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, the 75th anniversary of Hiroshima Nagasaki which led her to this work, impacts of her research, and what she hopes to see for girls and women concerning radiation for the future.

Of the many formidable and threatening issues facing our species is the abominably reckless, irresponsible actions of politicians who began the nuclear project at Los Allamos and have continued it in various forms since such that we have warheads facing Russia now as we have since the Cold War and they too have theirs facing us.  We have utterly tenuous and volatile nuclear power plants across the country, some sitting on earthquake faults (Diablo) and others situated within 20-50 miles of major urban centers with millions of people (Indian Point).  Among the many threats to our and many other species, the nuclear threat looms as one of the greatest. To speak about this threat today with Mitchell is American journalist, author, democracy activist, and advocate for renewable energy Harvey Wasserman. Harvey has been a strategist and organizer in the anti-nuclear movement in the United States for over 30 years. He has been a featured speaker on Today, Nightline, National Public Radio, CNN Lou Dobbs Tonight and other major media outlets. Wasserman is senior advisor to Greenpeace USA and the Nuclear Information and Resource Service, an investigative reporter, and senior editor of The Columbus Free Press where his coverage, with Bob Fitrakis, has prompted Rev. Jesse Jackson to call them “the Woodward and Bernstein of the 2004 election.” He lives with his family in the Columbus, Ohio, area. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/abwmitchellrabin/support

TEPCO water woes at Fukushima Daiichi so bad, even the nuclear-promoting International Atomic Energy Agency admits, "The situation remains very complex." Chernobyl re-releases 0.5 PETABequerels of radiation from smoke released during forest fires. That's half of a million-billion Bequerels. Do the math. Nukes not all they're cracked up to be: Belgian reactors show 13,047 cracks in Doel 3 and 3,149 cracks in Tihange 2. Feel safer now?

We examine the true costs of nuclear energy and whether it is truly necessary as we transition to a sustainable energy economy. Starting in the 1950's there was a Uranium Rush in the US that dwarfed the Gold Rush and left behind more than ten thousand abandoned uranium mines that continue to pollute the air, land and water today and cause serious public health problems. This is the dirty beginning of nuclear energy. Klee Benally of Clean Up The Mines! speaks about the impacts of uranium mining and the national campaign to clean up the abandoned uranium mines. Leona Morgan of Diné No Nukes speaks about the impacts of these mines and her community's work to stop mining and restore health. Then Tim Judson of the Nuclear Information and Resource Service will describe how the nuclear industry is prohibiting sustainable energy and positioning itself to be the solution to the climate crisis.

Since the Main Stream Media (AKA the Major News Outlets) have stopped covering the ONGOING GLOBAL DEISASTER that is the FUKUSHIMA DAI'ICHI Nuclear Meltdown and its every expanding impact. Scientists not paid for Coverup and Silence have continued to investigate and publish the ongoing investigation of the GLOBAL IMPACT of Japanese out of control Nuclear Disaster.  Leaks, crumbling storage pools, the tons of radioactive water leaking into the Pacific Currents. The reactor vessels were breached early on.  When radioactive tuna and kelp is found on Americas West Coast. Our governments did not lose a beat, steps were taken, monitoring was stopped. Just this past week, permitted exposure to radioactivity was allowed to rise. And some say, the government doesn't care. This week PNN will play selected speeches of Nuclear Scientists from the Caldicott Symposium on Fukushima and Chernobyl. Scientists from across the planet, who have studied the impact of long term exposure to radioactivity. A MUST HEAR SHOW.   Dr. Lynn Ringenberg a Tampa Pediatrician from the Physicians for Social Reponsibility.  Kevin Kamps a Nuclear Waste Specialist for the Washington, D. C. based Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS) will discuss Nuclear History. Cindy Folker Radiation and Health Specialist, with Beyond Nuclear will speak on the effects of long term Radioactive Exposure. Mary Olsen of Nuclear Information and Resource Service will discuss GENDER VARIATIONS of the impact of RADIATION on Women and Children. Wladimir Worelecki Geneticist on radiations impact on Human Genetics.  -  7pm April 21st
