Solartopia Green Power and Wellness Hour: Davis-Besse's bailout and license extension

Harvey WasswermanHarvey Wasserman (see photo) has Beyond Nuclear on again to discuss Davis-Besse's outrageous bailout and risky license extension rubber-stamp. He also had on Shannon Fisk, Earthjustice attorney representing the Sierra Club, which is officially opposing the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio staff's sweetheart deal for bailing out FirstEnergy, at ratepayer expense.

Harvey also had on Charles Komanoff, author of the 1992 Greenpeace report Fiscal Fission: The Economic Failure of Nuclear Power, to discuss the carbon tax, as the COP21 (Council of Parties UN climate negotiations) got underway in Paris.

Listen to the show here. See Harvey's write up below:

Solartopia is today invaded by the utter insanity of Ohio’s Public Utilities Commission, whose staff is recommending (this is not a typo) that ratepayers be gouged $4 billion to subsidize continued operation of the Davis-Besse nuke and several coal burners between the ages of 40 and 60 years old. We hear from the incomparable atomic expert KEVIN KAMPS of BEYOND NUCLEAR who dissects the terrifying physical condition of the Davis-Besse nuke, which is literally crumbling before our eyes, And from SHANNON FISK of EARTHJUSTICE which is representing the SIERRA CLUB in litigation against this insane mega-robbery. Suffice it to say the level of sheer cynicism comprised in this proposed bail-out defies description. We then hear from world-renowned CARBON TAX advocate Charles Komanoff, who explains how a levy on the burning of fossil fuels can help us right the CLIMATE CHAOS destroying our ability to survive on this Earth. If you intend to survive on this planet, this is an action-packed, fact filled reality show you can’t afford to miss.
