Nuclear power proponents say it's 'clean energy' because, unlike coal-fired power plants, nuclear power doesn't produce carbon dioxide. In this encore episode we hear from Dr. Helen Caldicott [1]the author of Nuclear Power is Not the Answer on the dangers of nuclear power. Plus, Pete Altman, the climate campaign director for the Natural Resources Defense Council talks about what the resignation of major companies from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce may mean to the fight to halt climate change.
