Ep. 11 - Nuclear Energy Revisited

Episode 12
1h 38m | Jan 20, 2020

Will nuclear power mishaps like Chernobyl and Fukushima bring about an early Armageddon? Or is it our best chance to avoid further climate catastrophe? Arjuna and Robin hash out the bright side and the not so bright side of nuclear energy and look at just how it measures up against other energy source options.

Update: We say in the show that 10% of electricity came from the Megatons to Megawatts program.  I fact checked this and sources say "up to 10%", so it probably was quite a bit lower than that for parts of the program's 2 decade life cycle.
